S.Amdt. 5177

SA 5177, submitted by Mr. Kaine, aims to add a section to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33 regarding the congressional budget for fiscal year 2026 and budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund that allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation regarding firearm discharge policies for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Border Patrol.

This may include policies that require officers and agents who discharge a firearm while on duty (unless at a firing range) to be put on mandatory administrative leave with pay until a thorough investigation into the shooting is finished. This is provided the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
