What this amendment would do
- This amendment was submitted by Mr. Bennet to the budget resolution for the United States Government.
- The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the Department of Defense.
- It aims to ensure that the Department of Defense does not conduct operations at the United States southern border that would increase its budget expenditure without providing a detailed cost estimate to the Armed Services committees.
- The detailed cost estimate must include budget offsets by program.
- It also allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
