What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted an amendment, known as SA 438, to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025. Plain and simple, this amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

Purpose and Changes

The purpose of this fund is to let the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget adjust budget numbers and financial ledgers for future legislation. This applies to bills, resolutions, or amendments that focus on protecting public safety and national security in immigration enforcement.

Specifically, it aims to support legislation that prioritizes the deportation of undocumented individuals who pose a threat to national security or public safety. The main rule here is that any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
