What this amendment would do

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • This amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the protection of classified information to the end of title III of the budget resolution.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These revisions are for legislation relating to protecting the integrity of the United States classified information ecosystem amid growing counterintelligence threats.
  • It aims to ensure that only properly cleared individuals with a fully adjudicated background investigation and a legitimate need to know can access classified data, systems, and facilities.
  • The changes are allowed as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
