What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment numbered SA 1947, which was ordered to lie on the table. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to improving services and interventions relating to sexual assault, family violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and child abuse.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These revisions and adjustments are for legislation relating to improving services and interventions for sexual assault, family violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and child abuse.
  • Eligible efforts may include programs and grants that address violence against women, assist victims of child abuse, or provide housing and emergency shelter to survivors.
  • The changes are allowed as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
