What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 1987. The purpose of this amendment is to establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting military readiness by requiring the tracking and reimbursement of non-traditional defense expenditures.

It aims to allow 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. This is for legislation relating to protecting military readiness by ensuring military costs and activities are properly documented and reimbursed, as long as it does not increase the deficit from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

The amendment specifically includes:

  • Documenting and reimbursing all costs associated with the use of military aircraft and aircrew for transporting migrants from the United States to any other location.

  • Documenting and reimbursing all costs associated with the expansion, construction, and maintenance of the Migrant Operations Center at Guantanamo Bay.

  • Documenting and reimbursing all costs associated with the use of military personnel to perform functions at the Migrant Operations Center at Guantanamo Bay.

  • Documenting all costs associated with the deployment of active-duty military personnel to the Southern Border of the United States.

  • Documenting and reimbursing all costs associated with the expansion, construction, and maintenance of a wall or barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico.
