What this amendment would do

Mr. Coons, along with Ms. Alsobrooks, submitted SA 1402 to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14. The purpose of this amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to restoring medical research of the Department of Defense.

This amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution. It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to restoring the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs of the Department of Defense, which may include individual allocations for research topics previously funded as stand-alone programs.

  • The changes can be made for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports.
  • The adjustments will match the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes.
  • The legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
