years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ENSURING 
                   THE ACCURATE REPORTING OF COVID-19 RELATED

     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     ensuring States accurately report COVID-19 deaths, which may 
     include conducting investigations and withholding funding 
     from States who underreport, by the amounts provided in such 
     legislation for those purposes, provided that such 
     legislation would not increase the deficit over either the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
