What this amendment would do

MR. PADILLA submitted SA 1110 to the concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

Purpose and Changes

  • The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting veterans mental health care and suicide prevention resources at the end of title III.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • These revisions and adjustments are for legislation relating to protecting veterans' mental health care and suicide prevention resources, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

  • The legislation for those purposes may include prohibiting cuts to coverage and services like the Veterans Crisis Line or unjustified employment terminations of employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs or veterans in the Federal workforce.
