119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

  • Submitted by Ms. Hirono and Mr. Wyden, SA 977 aims to add a new point of order to title IV of the concurrent resolution.

  • The purpose is to stop the Senate from considering legislation that gives Federal law enforcement officers the authority to access, collect, retain, share, or use the protected health information of pregnant women related to their pregnancy.

  • It adds protection so that law enforcement cannot do this without the woman's valid explicit, informed authorization or a warrant obtained under rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

  • To bypass this rule or to appeal a ruling by the Chair, the amendment requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senators who are duly chosen and sworn.
