  SA 3699. Ms. HASSAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PRIOR AUTHORIZATION UNDER 
                   MEDICARE PART D.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or 
     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     preventing Medicare beneficiaries from experiencing 
     interruptions in access to crucial medicines, which may 
     include requiring that prior authorizations approved by a 
     Medicare prescription drug plan for a beneficiary during the 
     current plan year be considered approved in subsequent plan 
     years until the prescription drug benefit redesign under 
     Medicare part D is fully implemented, by the amounts provided 
     in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such 
     legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of 
     the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
