What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for everyday folks and making sure our elected officials are held accountable, let us break down what Mr. Coons put on the table with SA 1401. This amendment is all about setting up a DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND BIOSECURITY.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change certain budget allocations and adjustments.

  • These changes are meant for legislation dealing with safeguarding United States public health and biosecurity.

  • This can include restoring United States leadership in global efforts to monitor, prevent, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.

  • The big catch to keep our leaders accountable is that any legislation using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
