What this amendment would do

This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by establishing a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be allowed to revise committee allocations or other budgetary levels.
  • The Chairman could also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a system used to track the costs of legislation that change existing laws, for various types of legislative actions relating to public health.
  • These actions may include prohibiting further cuts to the workforce of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that threaten or undermine lifesaving public health efforts.
  • This process is permitted for the amounts provided in such legislation.
  • This is subject to the condition that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
