What this amendment would do

This amendment was submitted by Mr. Schumer, along with Mrs. Gillibrand, for the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7. Its purpose is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to strengthening the workforce and funding of the World Trade Center Health Program at the end of title III.

What it Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to strengthening the workforce and funding of Federal programs providing medical benefits to individuals affected by disasters.

  • It specifically includes supporting the World Trade Center Health Program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or supporting permanent funding solutions to such programs.

  • These changes can only happen if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
