What this amendment would do

As folks who put these officials in office, we need to know what they are trying to do with our hard-earned money and laws. Mr. Warner submitted SA 123, which is an amendment targeted at protecting families.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a new point of order in the Senate against specific reconciliation legislation. Specifically, it aims to add a rule that stops the Senate from considering reconciliation bills, resolutions, amendments, or conference reports that would increase the cost of child care for United States families.

Here is what the amendment adds to the bill:

  • New Point of Order: It makes it out of order in the Senate to consider reconciliation legislation that would increase child care costs for families.
  • Waiver and Appeal Rules: The rule can only be waived, suspended, or sustained on an appeal of the Chair's ruling by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the sworn Members of the Senate.
