What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.
-
The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change committee allocations, aggregates, and other budgetary levels.
-
It also allows for adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a system used to track the costs of legislation that changes existing laws, for certain bills, resolutions, or motions.
-
The purpose of these changes is to ensure that personally identifiable information, such as photos, fingerprints, biometrics, health records, or tax records in Government systems, is only used for the purpose it was collected.
-
The measure aims to prohibit that information from being altered, manipulated, or exfiltrated, and seeks to hold individuals and agencies accountable through the amounts provided in the legislation.
-
This fund can only be used if the legislation does not increase the deficit during the period from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
