Purpose and Changes

The amendment aims to add a new point of order to the bill.

Additional Rules

  • The new point of order can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
  • An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on this point of order.
