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 allowed to change committee spending limits and other budget levels. These changes could also include adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track how new legislation affects the deficit. These adjustments would apply to bills, resolutions, or other legislative actions related to lowering the cost of prescription drugs. This could include legislation that caps the cost of certain generic prescription drugs under the Medicare program. The amendment requires that any such legislation must not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
