What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what Senator Warren is trying to do here in plain English. She submitted an amendment, known as SA 1072, to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

What It Aims to Do

  • Creates a new rule: The amendment adds a new point of order in the Senate.

  • Protects homebuyers: It aims to block the Senate from considering any bill, resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that would raise mortgage rates for American families.

  • Sets a high bar for waivers: If someone wants to bypass this rule and pass something that raises those rates, it would take a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn to waive it or to sustain an appeal of the Chair's ruling.
