SA 1121. Mr. PADILLA (for himself, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Welch)
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

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PROTECTING MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND SUICIDE
PREVENTION RESOURCES FOR PATIENTS WITH PRIVATE
HEALTH INSURANCE.

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
protecting mental health care and suicide prevention
resources, which may include prohibiting cuts that would
impact the ability of the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary
of Health and Human Services, or the Secretary of the
Treasury to enforce mental health parity rules to strengthen
equitable access to mental health benefits as compared to
medical and surgical benefits, 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.
