What this amendment would do

As folks looking out for your hard-earned money and holding our elected officials accountable, let's break down what this is all about in plain English. Mr. Lee submitted an amendment, known as SA 2209, which deals with how airport security screening is funded.

What It Aims To Do

This amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the privatization of airport security screening. In common sense terms, it allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget numbers and ledgers for certain legislation under specific conditions.

Here is what that legislation must do:

  • Ensure that no reconciliation legislation provides direct or indirect funding for the Transportation Security Administration.
  • Make sure that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
