What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mr. Luján as SA 1725, focuses on holding our government accountable regarding healthcare access for our most vulnerable citizens. Its purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to Medicaid for pregnant women and children.

Specifically, the amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise budget allocations and make adjustments. This allows for legislation that ensures Medicaid is accessible, specifically including pregnant women and children under 5 years of age.

  • It aims to achieve this by not providing monies or incentives for imposing barriers that reduce necessary access to health care.
  • It requires that any such legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
