Congressional Record, Senate — February 4, 2021, S557
Summary
This is S557 of the Congressional Record, Senate, February 4, 2021, with interleaved columns. The page carries amendment text for the budget resolution, mostly deficit-neutral reserve funds, including one relating to COVID-19 vaccine administration and a public awareness campaign, which may support States in implementing a transparent and consistent vaccine administration program. Other reserve funds concern preventing tax increases on small businesses during a pandemic national emergency and the authority of States to tax certain income of employees working in other States. It also prints sections on adjustment for changes in the baseline, limitation on advance appropriations, repeal of a supermajority enforcement requirement, and exercise of rulemaking powers.
