What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution. It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the spending limits of committees or other budget levels. These changes would apply to legislation or motions that increase prosecutions and penalties for gun trafficking along the southern border. The Chairman can make these adjustments by the amounts provided in the new legislation. This can only occur if the legislation does not increase the deficit, which is the gap between what the government spends and what it takes in, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
