What this amendment would do

Mr. Padilla submitted amendment numbered SA 1117 to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7 for the fiscal year 2025 budget.

  • The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to addressing the ongoing military recruitment crisis and supporting members of the armed forces by preserving mental health resources.

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

  • These revisions and adjustments are for legislation relating to addressing the ongoing military recruitment crisis and supporting members of the armed forces, which may include prohibiting the interruption of mental health resources for recruits and members of the armed forces.

  • The changes are allowed provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
