What this amendment would do
This amendment, labeled SA 1188, aims to add a new rule to the Senate's budget process.
What It Changes and Adds
-
Blocks Special Conflicts: The amendment adds a point of order in the Senate that targets specific budget bills or joint resolutions.
-
Stops Government Funding: It aims to change things by making it out of order to consider these measures unless they explicitly ban and cancel government contracts or funding for any companies owned, operated by, or heavily tied financially to special Government employees.
-
Strict Voting Rules: If someone wants to bypass this rule or challenge a ruling by the Chair, it takes a heavy three-fifths vote of the chosen and sworn Senate members to make it happen.
