What This Is All About Ms. Slotkin, along with Ms. Klobuchar, proposed SA 664 to the budget resolution for fiscal year 2025. As folks we voted into office make decisions about where our money goes, this amendment sets up a specific reserve fund to make sure we keep our focus on animal health, specifically regarding the avian flu.
