What this amendment would do

SA 5417, submitted by Mr. Booker, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33. The purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on protecting religious liberties.

  • This amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to protecting religious liberties.

  • Examples of such legislation may include requiring the Department of Homeland Security to allow religious leaders to enter detention centers to provide religious services.

  • These adjustments are permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
