What It Aims to Change or Add

  • Point of Order: The amendment adds a new rule stating it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that extends any tax cuts for individuals with income exceeding $1,000,000.

  • Condition for Relief: This restriction remains in place until the Government Accountability Office provides written confirmation to relevant committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives that the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization is in full compliance with Federal privacy laws.

  • Waiver and Appeal Rules: The restriction can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. Sustaining an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under this section also requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn.
