What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the resolution.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate could revise specific spending limits or adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation.

  • This would apply to legislation, such as bills or motions, that increases support for Inspectors General.

  • The purpose of this support is to ensure agencies properly handle and safeguard personal information, maintain official records, and protect the cybersecurity of Government systems according to applicable laws.

  • The amendment requires that any such legislation would not increase the deficit, meaning the total amount of government debt, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
