What this amendment would do

Here is the plain-language breakdown of what this amendment is all about. As folks who vote and hold our elected officials accountable, it is important to know how they handle our government's budget and workers.

This amendment was submitted by Ms. Blunt Rochester to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14. Its purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on the Federal workforce at the Department of Health and Human Services.

  • It aims to allow changes to budget allocations and levels for legislation relating to the Federal workforce.
  • It specifically targets preventing the indiscriminate termination of certain workers at the Department of Health and Human Services.
  • The protected workers include scientists, emergency preparedness staff, frontline health care workers, drug and medical device reviewers, and other Federal employees who protect the health and safety of Americans.
  • Any legislation using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
