Section 302(f) of the Budget Act prohibits consideration of legislation which provides new discretionary budget authority. new entitlement authority. or new credit authority which exceeds the allocation of budget authority allocated to the subcommittee having jurisdiction over the legislation under section 302(b) of the Budget Act. H.R. 3810 includes a number of provisions that make budget authority available immediately upon enactment. These include compensation for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate immigrationrelated unfair employment practices and a requirement that the Federal Government reimburse States and localities for the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens and certain Cuban nationals. Since no allocation of new budget authority was made to the Judiciary Committee for fiscal year 1986. no measure would be in order within the jurisdiction of the Immigration Subcommittee which provides new budget authority for the current fiscal year. Section 303(a) of the Budget Act prohibits consideration of legislation which contains new entitlement authority for a fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year has been adopted. One provision of the bill provides new entitlement authority for education assistance. for institutional reimbursements which will first take effect in fiscal year 1988.
