What this amendment would do

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

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may change the money allocated to committees or other budget levels.
  • These changes could apply to bills, joint resolutions, or other legislative actions that aim to make child care more affordable and of higher quality.
  • This includes potentially increasing funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant program.
  • This action can only be taken if the legislation does not increase the deficit, which is the amount of money the government owes, during the years 2025 through 2034.
