Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment aims to add a provision relating to preventing, controlling, and mitigating the outbreak of infectious disease.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for certain legislation.

  • The changes can apply to bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports that relate to preventing, controlling, and mitigating the outbreak of infectious disease.

  • This may include services and programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services for those purposes.
