What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the concurrent resolution regarding the congressional budget.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be authorized to revise committee allocations and adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation.
  • These changes would apply to bills, joint resolutions, amendments, or other legislative actions related to immigration enforcement.
  • The legislation could include prohibiting immigration enforcement against Dreamers who have no criminal record or do not pose a threat to public safety.
  • This authority is subject to the requirement that the legislation does not increase the deficit, which is the gap between government spending and revenue, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
