What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, I'm here to break down what Mr. Reed's amendment, SA 1330, actually does for us. In plain English, this amendment creates a new rule in the Senate to stop anyone from trying to hand over the National Weather Service to private or commercial companies.

What It Aims to Change

  • Blocks Privatization: It makes it out of order in the Senate to consider any bill, resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that would privatize or commercialize the National Weather Service.

  • High Bar to Overrule: If someone wants to bypass this rule or appeal a ruling about it, it will take a three-fifths vote of the sworn Senators to make it happen.
