Madam President, I call up my amendment No. 3568 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Mississippi [Mrs. Hyde-Smith] proposes an amendment numbered 3568. The amendment is as follows: (Purpose: To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to adjustments to Federal funds for certain local jurisdictions) At the end of title III, add the following: SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ADJUSTMENTS TO FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CERTAIN LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. 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 adjustments to Federal funds for local governments within the jurisdiction of the committees receiving reconciliation instructions under section 2001, which may include limiting or eliminating Federal payments, other than funding under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (34 U.S.C. 10151 et seq.) (commonly known as the "Byrne JAG grant program"') or section 1701 of title I of such Act (34 U.S.C. 10381) (commonly known as the "COPS grant program"), to a local government whose district attorney directs its prosecutors to not prosecute certain violent offenses or serious offenses that result in damage or injury to the property of any other person, 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 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031. Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Madam President, our Nation's communities and small businesses have had it rough these past 18 months as they struggle with the lasting effects of the pandemic. Today, they are also being victimized amid surging violent crime rates and progressive prosecutors who adopt nonprosecution policies. And, as a result, small businesses are left vulnerable and unassisted as they are burglarized, defaced, and destroyed. It is understandable for victimized small businesses, law enforcement, and the public to be dispirited as they are left to pick up the pieces while rogue prosecutors ignore their constitutional duty by refusing to prosecute violent crimes that affect the health, safety, or economy of our communities. Defying the rule of law and endangering the public has Mississippians and Americans across the country saying enough is enough. My amendment is simple and straightforward. Any city that purposely obstructs the rule of law by refusing to prosecute-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. Mrs. HYDE-SMITH.--certain violent crimes will not be subsidized by the American taxpayers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |
