S.Amdt. 795

MR. BOOKER submitted amendment SA 795 to the concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to ensuring the freedom of all United States residents to congregate at places of worship.

It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This is for legislation relating to ensuring the freedom to worship, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

The amendment notes that this may include reinstating the Guidelines for Enforcement Actions in or Near Protected Areas, issued by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on October 27, 2021. Those guidelines prohibit immigration enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection in protected areas, such as at or near places of worship.
