What the Amendment Aims to Change

Purpose of the Change

  • The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund at the end of title III.
  • It focuses on streamlining work authorization processes for asylum seekers and migrants in border states and high-need areas.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports related to this purpose.
  • These changes depend on the amounts provided in the legislation and require that the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 203tunnel.
