What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about using plain common sense. This amendment was submitted by Ms. Warren (along with Mr. Markey) and is designated as SA 1544. It was proposed for the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14, which sets the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and lays out the budgetary levels from fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

What the Amendment Aims to Do

  • The amendment aims to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to maintaining Federal support for Massachusetts-based medical research institutions.

  • It allows 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 lets the Chairman make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to maintaining Federal support for these specific research institutions.

  • There is a strict rule attached to this: the legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
