What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change the spending limits of committees or other budgetary levels.

These changes could apply to legislation, joint resolutions, or other official government actions relating to reproductive health care.

The amendment specifically mentions coverage for fertility treatment services, such as in vitro fertilization, that follow accepted medical standards.

The adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a system used to track the budgetary impact of new legislation, would be made for the amounts provided in such legislation.

This action would be permitted provided the legislation does not increase the deficit during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
