What this amendment would do

Senator Klobuchar put forward an amendment, known as SA 506, to the budget resolution for the United States Government.

What does the amendment do?

The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution. This fund relates specifically to sustaining health care providers in rural areas of the United States.

How does it change the budget?

It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise budget allocations and other levels for legislation that supports rural health care.

According to the text, this support may include:

  • Ensuring access to critical medical services
  • Expanding workforce recruitment and retention
  • Strengthening rural hospitals
  • Improving telehealth infrastructure

The main rule

Any legislation using these funds would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
