To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to COVID-19 vaccine administration and a public awareness campaign.

SA 716. Mr. CARDIN (for himself, Mr. Portman, and Mr. Menendez)
proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5,
setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government
for fiscal year 2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels
for fiscal years 2022 through 2030; as follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO COVID-19
VACCINE ADMINISTRATION AND A PUBLIC AWARENESS
CAMPAIGN.

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 and improving the process of distributing
COVID-19 vaccines to States, which may include supporting
States in implementing a transparent and consistent vaccine
administration program and bolstering States' public
awareness campaigns to increase awareness and knowledge of
the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines
(particularly among vulnerable communities, including ethnic
minority populations), 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.
