What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what Mr. Bennet is trying to do with amendment SA 810. It is all about keeping our elected officials accountable when it comes to funding important social programs we rely on.

What It Aims to Change

  • The amendment adds a new section to the budget resolution specifically for social services block grants.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to make adjustments and changes for bills or amendments related to social services funding.

  • Its specific purpose is to allow for legislation that prohibits reductions to the block grants given to States for social services, which includes programs like Meals on Wheels that get their funding from these grants.

  • There is one big rule attached: any legislation doing this must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
