Senate Roll Call 183

119th Congress · Session 1 · April 5, 2025

A vote on a proposed change to the bill

A vote on one change, not on the bill. A bill can collect dozens of these, and losing one does not stop it.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-1644 — To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to prevent increased barriers to American caregivers, including individuals caring for seniors, children, home care workers, and individuals engaged in the care economy.

As your legislative analyst, let's look straight at what Mr. Kim's amendment, numbered SA 1644, actually does. Simply put, it sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to healthcare coverage. The main purpose of this is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations, aggregates, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. These changes are meant for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports that deal with healthcare coverage.

The Senate recorded this as

To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to prevent increased barriers to American caregivers, including individuals caring for seniors, children, home care workers, and individuals engaged in the care economy.
