What this amendment would do

Hey folks, let's look at what our elected officials are up to with this one. Ms. Warren, along with Mr. Markey, put forward an amendment numbered SA 737. It is tied to the congressional budget for the fiscal year 2025 and looks ahead through 2034.

The Main Purpose

The goal of this amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund. Put simply, it gives the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee the power to change budget numbers and make adjustments for specific legislation.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • Adds a new section to the end of title III of the budget resolution.
  • Focuses specifically on maintaining federal support for Massachusetts-based medical research institutions.
  • Requires that any legislation using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
