       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ANY 
                   LEGISLATION THAT PROHIBITS THE IMPRISONMENT OF

     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 the 
     welfare of noncitizen children interacting with the 
     immigration system of the United States, which may include 
     the prohibition of detaining or otherwise imprisoning 
     noncitizen children who have not been charged with or 
     convicted of a crime, 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.
