What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for the people, let's look at what this paperwork actually does. This amendment was submitted by Mr. Luján, along with Ms. Klobuchar, for the congressional budget resolution.

Purpose and Changes

  • The entire purpose of this amendment is to strike section 2002(a) from the text.

That is all the text tells us it aims to change. It simply removes that specific section, and we cannot guess why or what the broader impacts are without stepping outside the provided facts.

What Congress actually voted on

One recorded vote has been taken on this amendment.

  • The Senate: a vote on a proposed change to the billAmendment Rejected 47–53

    A vote on one change, not on the bill. A bill can collect dozens of these, and losing one does not stop it.
