SA 533. Mr. HATCH (for himself and Ms. Murkowski) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution
S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the congressional budget for the United
States Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025; which
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3__. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ENSURING
THAT DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ATTORNEYS COMPLY
WITH DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN CRIMINAL
PROSECUTIONS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to ensuring that all Department of Justice attorneys
comply with all legal and ethical obligations in criminal
prosecutions, which may include legislation that ensures the
disclosure to the defendant in a timely manner of all
information known to the Government that tends to negate the
guilt of the defendant, mitigate the offense charged or the
sentence imposed, or impeach the Government's witnesses or
evidence, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
