What this amendment would do

SA 4953, submitted by Mr. Van Hollen, aims to add a section to title III of the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund for Inspector General funding. It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to:

  • Revise allocations of committees, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution.
  • Make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

These actions can be taken for legislation, amendments, or reports that focus on ensuring Inspector General offices have adequate resources and funding to investigate:

  • Waste
  • Fraud
  • Abuse

This is provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
