SA 985. Mr. KELLY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; 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
HEALTH CARE FAIRNESS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES.
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
strengthening military health care programs, including
legislation that would invest in the TRICARE program such
that young adult dependents of military families may remain
on a TRICARE healthcare policy until they reach 26 years of
age, similar to what is already available for civilian
healthcare policies, or eliminate the separate premium for
TRICARE Young Adult Select and separate premium for TRICARE
Young Adult Prime, 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 2025 through 2034.
