What this amendment would do

This amendment aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution. The whole purpose of this addition is to allow changes to budget levels for legislation that provides holistic health care services for veterans, active duty service members, reservists, and their dependents.

Specifically, these holistic health care services would be provided through facilities that are not facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate is allowed to revise allocations and make adjustments.
  • These adjustments are for legislation relating to holistic health care services provided outside of VA or DOD facilities.
  • The catch is that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
