What this amendment would do

Mr. Padilla submitted SA 1593 as an amendment to the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025.

  • The amendment adds a new Point of Order against certain reconciliation legislation.

  • It aims to stop the Senate from considering a bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report that would increase the deficit by more than $4,000,000,000,000 during the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034, when scored using the current law baseline.

  • It allows this rule to be waived or suspended only 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 to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on this point of order.
