SA 523. Mr. DURBIN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; 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
PROTECTING NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
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,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
protecting national security and public safety, which may
include ensuring that employees of the Department of Justice
or component agencies are not forced to work on mass
deportation or immigration enforcement efforts instead of
fulfilling their duties to prevent violent crime, combat
child sexual abuse or the distribution of child sexual abuse
material, respond to the fentanyl crisis, or prevent
terrorism, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal
years 2025 through 2034.
