What this amendment would do

As folks who want to keep an eye on what our elected officials are up to, we need to look at Senate Amendment 1174, submitted by Ms. Cortez Masto. This amendment deals with the budget for the United States Government and sets up a specific rule regarding our schools.

What It Aims to Change

  • The amendment adds a new rule to the budget process creating a point of order.
  • This rule makes it not in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that funds immigration enforcement actions at schools.
  • To get around this rule, it would take a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn to either waive it or sustain an appeal of the Chair's ruling.
