S.Amdt. 1825

SA 1825 was submitted by Mr. Kelly to the concurrent resolution establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

Purpose of the Amendment

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to supporting federal law enforcement personnel. It aims to support these personnel by continuing to combat transnational organized crime and protecting them from the workforce reductions directed by the Department of Government Efficiency.

What It Aims to Change or Add

• It adds a new section to title III that allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

• These adjustments are for legislation relating to protecting federal employees who combat transnational organized crime, provided the legislation does not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

• The legislation protected under this fund may prohibit the reassignment, termination, or laying off of federal employees whose job is to disrupt, investigate, or prosecute criminal acts by transnational organized criminal organizations and transnational organized crime.

• It may also prohibit reduction in force actions for any federal agency with a mission that includes protecting the people of the United States against transnational organized crime.
