S.Amdt. 986

Mr. Kelly submitted amendment SA 986 to the concurrent resolution for the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025 and levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting the privacy of servicemembers and veterans.

It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make pay-as-you-go adjustments for legislation relating to protecting the privacy of members of the Armed Forces and veterans.

Specifically, it covers protecting personal, private, or sensitive information regarding members, veterans, or their families maintained by the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and any other Federal agency.

The protection is against disclosure, intrusion, or unchecked access by employees of the United States DOGE Service Temporary Organization or any nonagency employees who lack appropriate vetting, authorization, clearance, or need to know.

This applies provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total fiscal years of 2025 through 2029 or 2025 through 2034.
