Changes to the Bill

  • It states that it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that provides new budget authority for any fiscal year, or that would increase or decrease revenue for any fiscal period, while there is an ongoing violation of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 as determined by the Comptroller General of the United States.

  • The restriction can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
