What this amendment would do

Mr. Welch submitted SA 1668, which is an amendment intended to be proposed for the congressional budget concurrent resolution.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a point of order in the Senate against reducing the resources that Federal agencies have to administer disaster response and recovery programs for State, local, and municipal governments.

Key Details to Hold Officials Accountable

  • It applies to any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report considered in the Senate.
  • It blocks any action that would cut the resources Federal agencies use to help State, local, and municipal governments with disaster response and recovery.
  • This rule can only be waived, suspended, or sustained on an appeal of the Chair's ruling by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn.
