What this amendment would do

  • The amendment was submitted by Ms. Duckworth.

  • It adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the end of title III of the concurrent resolution.

  • Its purpose is related to preventing the Department of Veterans Affairs from reducing workforce positions in each administration.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels for legislation that strengthens the Department of Veterans Affairs workforce.
