What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be allowed to change the spending limits of committees or other budgetary levels.
These changes could be made for legislation, which refers to proposed laws, that relates to protecting national security and public safety.
The amendment states that these protections may include protecting employees of the Department of Justice or its component agencies from layoffs caused by their probationary status, which is a period of time when an employee is being tested in a new role.
The adjustments would be made by the amounts provided in the legislation for those specific purposes.
The amendment requires that such legislation would not increase the deficit, meaning the amount of money the government owes, between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
