What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Luján, along with Ms. Cortez Masto, submitted this amendment to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

  • The main purpose of this amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • It aims to add a new section to title III that focuses on improving national security.

What It Aims to Change

  • The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels.

  • It lets them adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that ensures equipment purchased by the Department of Homeland Security is not sourced from the People's Republic of China.

  • This only applies if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
