What this amendment would do

As folks who want to keep an eye on what our elected officials are up to, we need to know how the laws they work on affect our daily lives. Here is the plain truth about this amendment.

What the Amendment Does

This amendment was submitted by Ms. Cortez Masto for the budget resolution. Its main purpose is to add a new rule in the Senate.

The Main Changes

  • Adds a new rule: It creates a point of order in the Senate against funding any immigration enforcement actions that would result in higher egg prices for American consumers. This means a Senator can object to a bill, resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report if it funds these actions.

  • Sets waiver and appeal rules: To get around this rule or to appeal a ruling by the Chair, it takes a three-fifths vote of all the chosen and sworn members of the Senate.
