What this amendment would do

SA 5723, submitted by Mr. Welch, aims to add a section to bill S. 2 regarding the use of funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The purpose of this amendment is to transfer $2,000,000,000 from the unobligated balances of that Act to the Attorney General. These funds are intended to provide restitution to victims of offenses committed by people who received a pardon or had their sentence commuted by President Donald J. Trump.

  • The transfer is effective on the date the Act is enacted.
  • The funds will remain available until they are spent.
