“Amendment SA 911 not agreed to in Senate by Voice Vote.”

what this changes

This amendment proposed creating a special budget category to help lawmakers increase funding for Alzheimer’s disease research in future bills. Since it failed, this specific placeholder for Alzheimer's funding was not included in the Senate's overall budget plan.

WHY IT MATTERS

Alzheimer's is a major health concern for millions of Americans; this amendment was a move to ensure that future efforts to fund research would have an easier path through the complex federal budget process.

WHO IS AFFECTED

People living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, their caregivers, and medical researchers would have been the most directly affected if this had led to future funding increases.
