119-SAMDT-6805 — To increase the limitation on funding for post-eligibility insurance and catastrophic injury for student athletes.
What the Amendment Does Mr. Booker, along with Mr. Blumenthal, submitted this amendment to change how a specific fund or program is paid for in the bill. Common sense tells us that when big money is involved, we need to know who is footing the bill so our elected officials are holding the right people accountable. The amendment sets a spending limit of $200,000,000 for the fund or program.
