What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Welch submitted SA 1818 to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal year 2025 budget.

  • It creates a point of order in the Senate against considering any legislation that extends tax cuts for individuals making more than $1,000,000 a year.

  • This restriction stays in place until the Government Accountability Office gives written confirmation to the relevant Senate and House committees that every Federal agency is providing all essential services required by law.

  • The rule can only be waived, suspended, or sustained on an appeal of the Chair's ruling by a three-fifths affirmative vote of the chosen and sworn members of the Senate.
