What this amendment would do

Mr. Coons submitted amendment SA 174, which proposes to add a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to ensuring public safety in immigration detention decisions.

The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This applies to legislation relating to ensuring the consideration of public safety when making immigration detention decisions.

Specifically, this may include ensuring that mandatory detention laws do not result in the release of individuals who pose a serious public safety threat in order to detain individuals who do not pose a public safety threat and are not a flight risk.

To make these changes happen, the legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
