Changes bill
119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Kaine submitted an amendment to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preventing waste.
  • The main goal is to let the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget adjust certain budget numbers and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation dealing with adjudicating immigration cases.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows for budget adjustments for legislation that prevents the Attorney General from removing, reassigning, or furloughing, without cause, permanent immigration judges or assistant chief immigration judges.
  • This protection applies if the Attorney General is actively seeking to hire temporary immigration judges.
  • Any legislation doing this must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
