What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new rule to the budget resolution regarding federal funding.

  • It establishes a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a specific piece of legislation, against any bill or motion that reduces funding under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for programs serving students with disabilities.

  • To move forward with such legislation despite this rule, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members is required to waive or suspend the objection.

  • A three-fifths vote of the Senate members is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
