What this amendment would do

This amendment, labeled SA 1620 and submitted by Ms. Hirono, is all about making sure our elected officials keep health care available for LGBTQIA+ veterans without adding to the national deficit.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 through 2034.

Key Details

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise budget allocations and make adjustments.
  • These revisions are meant for legislation relating to preserving health care for LGBTQIA+ veterans.
  • The targeted care specifically includes gender-affirming care for transgender veterans, HIV prevention, and mental health care and suicide prevention.
  • Any legislation passed using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
