SA 1586. Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER submitted an amendment intended to be
proposed by her to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14,
establishing 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 appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PREVENTING
RESTRUCTURING OR DOWNSIZING OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IN A MANNER THAT
WOULD HARM AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES.
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 the
Federal agencies, which may include legislation preventing a
reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services
that would erode coordination of efforts to improve the
independence or inclusion of people with disabilities, such
as by splitting up across multiple agencies essential
programs to assist people with disabilities, 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.
