Mr. Van Hollen, along with Ms. Hirono, submitted SA 1869 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025. The purpose of this amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to protecting student access to school lunch and breakfast programs.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
  • It allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to protecting student access to healthy meals.
  • It aims to prevent cuts to benefits or changes to eligibility for the school lunch program and the school breakfast program that would leave more children hungry.
