What this amendment would do

Here is the rundown on what this amendment is all about, keeping our elected officials accountable to the folks back home.

This amendment was put forward by Ms. Warren, along with Mr. Markey, for the 2025 budget resolution.

Purpose and Changes

  • Deficit-neutral reserve fund: The amendment adds a new section to create a reserve fund focused on supporting children in Massachusetts.

  • Budget adjustments: It lets the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget change committee allocations and make other adjustments for legislation dealing with a specific goal.

  • Protecting access: The goal of the changes is to protect continued access to grants and programs relied on by families in Massachusetts.

  • Specific programs: The text explicitly mentions that these programs may include the Head Start program or Early Head Start program.

  • Keeping costs down: Any legislation that benefits from these adjustments must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
