What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for the people, let's break down what this amendment actually does in plain English. Senators Cortez Masto and Whitehouse introduced SA 373, which creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to reproductive health care.

The purpose of this amendment is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation dealing with reproductive health care. To be clear, it aims to add or change the budget so Congress can pass laws that do specific things without increasing the federal deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.

Specifically, the legislation supported by this fund may include:

  • Prohibiting anyone from interfering with a person's ability to access out-of-State reproductive health care.

  • Prohibiting anyone from restricting who receives, provides, or assists with out-of-State reproductive health care that is legal in the State where the care is provided.
