What this amendment would do

  • Stops funding cuts: This amendment creates a new rule in the Senate that blocks the consideration of any bill, resolution, motion, or conference report that reduces Federal funding for low-income schools eligible under part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

How to Bypass the Rule

  • High voting bar: The new rule can only be waived, suspended, or have its ruling appealed with an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators who are duly chosen and sworn.
