What this amendment would do

  • The amendment sets up a point of order in the Senate.
  • It aims to stop the consideration of any bill, resolution, motion, or report that changes the Federal income tax deduction for State and local taxes in a way that increases the tax burden for taxpayers living in States that have general sales taxes instead of State income taxes.

How to Overcome the Rule

  • This rule can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members.
  • It also requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order.
