What this amendment would do

MR. WARNER submitted SA 130, which is an amendment meant to be proposed for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025 through 2034. Plain and simple, it is about keeping our elected officials accountable when it comes to the roof over our heads.

  • Waiver and Appeal Rules: This new rule can only be waived, suspended, or have its chair's ruling sustained in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
