What this amendment would do

This amendment, labeled SA 1466, was submitted by Senator Alsobrooks along with several other senators. Its main purpose is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to protecting legally binding collective bargaining agreements and the right to organize for federal employees, while prohibiting attacks on them.

What It Aims to Change

This amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation dealing with the Federal workforce. Specifically, it can target legislation that prevents the President from improperly exempting federal agencies and their components from certain labor laws outlined in title 5 of the United States Code and the Foreign Service Act of 1980.

The Catch

For the budget numbers to be changed, the legislation must not increase the overall deficit for the fiscal years spanning from 2025 through 2034.
