What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
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.
The Chairman could also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation that changes existing laws.
These changes would apply to bills, resolutions, or other legislative actions that aim to prohibit raising the cost of prescription drugs for seniors.
The adjustment can only be made if the legislation does not increase the deficit, which is the gap between what the government spends and what it takes in, during the years 2025 through 2034.
