What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to public health and biosecurity to the resolution.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be allowed to change the spending limits of committees or other budget levels.
These changes could be made for various legislative actions, such as bills, joint resolutions, or amendments, that relate to safeguarding United States public health and biosecurity.
The scope of these actions may include restoring United States leadership in global efforts to monitor, prevent, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.
The adjustments would be made by the amounts provided in the legislation for those specific purposes.
This can only occur if the legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the gap between government spending and revenue, over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
