What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let us break down what Mr. Warnock's amendment, SA 1346, is all about in plain English.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund that is tied to protecting our public health workforce.

What it aims to add to the budget resolution is the ability for the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments for future legislation.

Specifically, this allows adjustments for legislation relating to public health, which can include prohibiting further cuts to the workforce of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that threaten or undermine lifesaving public health efforts.

The catch here to keep our officials accountable is that any such legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
