What this amendment would do

SA 5353, submitted by Mr. Bennet, is an amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33. This resolution sets the federal budget for fiscal year 2026 and outlines budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

The amendment aims to add a section to title III regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This fund is specifically for legislation related to:

  • Protecting or extending the automatic extension of employment authorization for people who filed a timely renewal application.
  • Preventing gaps in work authorization.
  • Ensuring continuity of employment.

The amendment allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation meeting these goals, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
