What this amendment would do

Mr. Murphy submitted SA 902 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025. As folks we voted for are supposed to work for us and keep things fair, this amendment aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preventing federal employees from accessing sensitive data.

What It Changes or Adds

The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations and make adjustments for legislation relating to data privacy. Specifically, it can include legislation that stops any federal employee, Special Government Employee, or advisor to the President—whether they are paid or unpaid—from accessing, obtaining, or viewing data maintained by any federal agency.

This restriction applies if the agency is currently investigating or has a pending enforcement action against a company, business, corporation, nonprofit organization, or other entity that is owned by, or invested in, by that specific federal employee, Special Government Employee, or advisor to the President. The only catch is that the legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
