What this amendment would do

As folks looking out for the hard-earned money of the American people, we need to keep our elected officials accountable. Here is the plain-English breakdown of what this amendment is about.

Mr. Coons submitted SA 108, which is an amendment proposing a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to public health and biosecurity.

  • The amendment aims to add a new section to the end of title III of the concurrent resolution.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These changes are for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to safeguarding United States public health and biosecurity.
  • This may include restoring United States leadership in global efforts to monitor, prevent, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.
  • The condition is that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
