What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let us break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. Amendment SA 1474 was submitted by Ms. Alsobrooks and Mr. Wyden for the fiscal year 2025 congressional budget resolution.

Purpose and Changes

The main goal of this amendment is to hold our officials accountable by establishing a point of order against raising taxes on single parents.

  • It aims to make it out of order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that increases taxes on single parents.

  • It sets a strict rule that this restriction can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.

  • It also requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on this specific point of order.
