What this amendment would do
SA 4978, submitted by Mr. Padilla, aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the end of title III of S. Con. Res. 33.
The purpose of this amendment is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation focused on:
- Protecting voter data and election infrastructure.
- Preventing the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice from seizing State voter registration list data.
- Preventing the breaking of the chain of custody for voting equipment, software, associated data, and election ballots.
This is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
