What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund for military readiness.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would have the authority to change specific spending limits or make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track how legislation affects the deficit.
These changes would apply to bills, resolutions, or motions that relate to ensuring military readiness and fiscal responsibility.
The amendment states that these actions may include limiting the use of Coast Guard or Department of Defense air and sea assets for immigration enforcement by the amounts provided in the legislation.
This authority would only apply if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
