What this amendment would do

Mr. Kelly submitted amendment SA 1741 to establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preventing unchecked access to federal government systems, information, data, or sensitive documents.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution. It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to the maintenance and security of information and documents of the Federal Government.

Specifically, it targets legislation that would protect systems, information, data, or sensitive documents of the Federal Government from being accessed by certain individuals. This includes anyone who has not been vetted by the relevant executive agency or is not properly credentialed and cleared by the relevant executive agency to access such systems, information, data, or sensitive documents, such as access by personnel of the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization. These adjustments can only be made if the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
