What this amendment would do

As folks working for you here in Congress, it is our job to keep a close eye on what the people we voted into office are up to. Amendment SA 1809, submitted by Ms. Smith, deals with the budget for fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

What It Aims to Do

  • The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to a report for Congress about the proposed reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make adjustments and revise allocations for legislation concerning Federal agencies.
  • It specifically targets legislation that would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit a comprehensive plan and analysis for the reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services, including all divisions, proposed by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy on March 27, 2025.
  • The plan may include details about how reductions in the workforce will impact critical services across the Department.
  • Any legislation for this purpose must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
