The resolution condemns the U.S. House of Representatives for passing a budget resolution on February 25, 2025, that proposes to cut $1.5 trillion from the federal budget over the next ten years. The cuts specifically target critical areas such as public healthcare programs, education funding, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The resolution expresses concern that these cuts will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, particularly in New Jersey, where millions rely on programs like NJ FamilyCare and SNAP for essential healthcare and food security.

The resolution highlights the potential impact of these funding reductions, estimating that New Jersey could lose up to $5.2 billion in federal matching funds for NJ FamilyCare, which serves approximately 1.8 million low- and moderate-income residents. Additionally, it notes that around 830,000 low-income residents depend on SNAP benefits, which may be significantly reduced due to the proposed cuts. The General Assembly urges the U.S. Senate to reject the House resolution to protect the state's most vulnerable residents from these drastic funding reductions.
