119-SCONRES-33 — A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

What this amendment would do

SA 4951, submitted by Mr. Van Hollen, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This fund is for legislation that focuses on:

  • Preserving evidence.
  • Making public the results of investigations into the deaths of United States citizens during encounters with Department of Homeland Security officers.

This change allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for related bills or reports, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
