What this amendment would do
This amendment, submitted by Mr. Bennet, deals with the federal budget and sets up a special reserve fund.
Purpose and Changes
-
The amendment adds a new section to the budget resolution that focuses on cybersecurity.
-
Its main goal is to expand cybersecurity infrastructure to fight off threats from foreign adversaries that the federal government has identified as countries of concern.
-
It gives the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate the power to change certain budget allocations and adjustments for related legislation.
-
The catch to keep our leaders accountable is that any legislation using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
