S.Amdt. 84

Mr. Murphy submitted an amendment, designated as SA 84, to the bill S. 5.

The purpose of this amendment is to add an effective date regarding when a specific part of the bill—specifically section 236(c)(1)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act—will actually start working.

Instead of starting immediately, the amendment aims to make this part of the bill take effect on whichever of these two dates comes first:

• The date the Secretary of Homeland Security tells the appropriate congressional committees that there are enough Federal funds available to carry it out.
• The first day of a fiscal year for which Congress has actually appropriated enough Federal funds to carry it out.

If the Secretary of Homeland Security makes a certification that funds are available, the amendment requires that certification to include a detailed list. This list must show the amounts and programs, including any congressionally-directed spending, needed to carry out that section of the law.
