What this amendment would do

Mr. Padilla put forward an amendment, known as SA 1634, to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the congressional budget. Folks in Washington use these funds to clear a path for future legislation without adding to the national debt.

The Purpose of the Amendment

The main goal of this amendment is to hold our government to its word when it comes to honoring our obligations to Tribal Nations and Tribal citizens. It sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund specifically to tackle the ongoing worker shortage at the Indian Health Service.

  • Focuses on addressing the workforce shortage at the Indian Health Service.
  • Provides sufficient resources and increases efficiency in Federal program delivery.
  • Aims at reversing unjustified employment terminations of health care providers.
  • Requires that any legislation passed using this fund will not increase the deficit over the fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
