What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new rule to the budget resolution regarding federal funding for certain schools. It would create a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a piece of legislation, against any bill or motion that reduces federal money for schools eligible under part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

To bypass or ignore this rule in the Senate, a three-fifths vote of the members is required. Additionally, a three-fifths vote would be necessary to uphold a ruling by the Chair, which is the presiding officer of the Senate, if a point of order is raised under this section.
