What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 1297, which is an amendment intended to be proposed for the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

Purpose and Changes

The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to expanding youth-focused prevention and treatment programs for substance use disorders, with a specific focus on fentanyl and opioid misuse.

It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This applies to legislation relating to expanding these youth-focused prevention and treatment programs, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
