What this amendment would do

Submitted by: Mr. Reed, along with several other Senators.

What it changes or adds: It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This is for legislation relating to access to healthcare, which may include legislation prohibiting a reduction in enrollment or benefits for individuals enrolled in Medicaid, such as seniors, children, families, individuals with disabilities, veterans, or military families.

This only applies if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
