What this amendment would do

  • Submitted by Ms. Warren and Mr. Markey, this amendment aims to add a new point of order to title IV of the concurrent resolution.

  • It makes it out of order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that restricts or rescinds funds for transportation or infrastructure projects in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that have already been awarded or made available under current law.

  • It also prevents the consideration of any legislation that delays the delivery of a transportation or infrastructure project in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Rules for Waivers and Appeals

  • This new rule can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by a positive vote of three-fifths of the sworn Members.

  • A positive vote of three-fifths of the sworn Senate Members is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on this point of order.
