What this amendment would do

Ms. Blunt Rochester submitted SA 1586 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • It aims to allow changes to budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to Federal agencies.

  • Specifically, it targets legislation that prevents a reorganization or downsizing of the Department of Health and Human Services if that restructuring would harm Americans with disabilities.

  • It protects against changes that would erode coordination for improving the independence or inclusion of people with disabilities, such as splitting up essential assistance programs across multiple agencies.

  • Any legislation using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
