What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about using plain common sense. Senator Cortez Masto put forward this amendment, known as SA 1582, to the budget resolution for fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop the funding for a specific action. It aims to add a new rule in the Senate that creates a point of order.

What does this change or add to the bill? 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 provides funding for the detention of children at the United States Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

  • To waive or suspend this new rule, it would require an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn.
  • To sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised against this rule, it would also require an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn.
