What this amendment would do

Mr. Luján submitted SA 1711, which is an amendment intended for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.

  • The purpose of the amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to the COPS Hiring Program.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations and make adjustments for legislation that supports law enforcement officers.

  • Specifically, it covers legislation that provides direct funding to law enforcement agencies so they can hire or rehire additional career law enforcement officers.

  • This is intended to increase community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts, including the specific COPS Hiring Program.

  • The main rule for this is that any legislation passed for these purposes would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
