What this amendment would do

Mr. Kim, along with Ms. Alsobrooks and Ms. Cortez Masto, put forward an amendment numbered SA 905. The whole point of this is to keep our elected officials accountable when it comes to your hard-earned money and the roof over your head.

What It Aims to Change

This amendment adds a new rule to the Senate. It sets up a point of order against any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that the Congressional Budget Office estimates would increase the deficit and raise the cost of home ownership.

If a piece of legislation tries to do both of those things, it breaks this new rule and stops unless the Senate takes a specific vote to bypass it. To waive this rule or appeal a ruling from the Chair, it takes a three-fifths vote of the Senators chosen and sworn in.
