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. It specifically highlights significant cuts targeting essential programs, including $880 billion from healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid, $330 billion from education funding, and $230 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The resolution expresses concern that these cuts will adversely affect critical safety net programs, particularly for vulnerable populations in New Jersey.

In New Jersey, approximately 1.8 million individuals rely on NJ FamilyCare, which includes Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, for their healthcare needs. The proposed budget cuts could lead to a reduction of up to $5.2 billion in federal matching funds for NJ FamilyCare, severely impacting healthcare access for low- and moderate-income residents. Additionally, around 830,000 low-income residents depend on SNAP benefits, which are at risk of being limited or restricted due to the proposed cuts. The resolution urges the U.S. Senate to reject the House's budget proposal to protect these vital programs and the residents who depend on them.
