What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, to the concurrent resolution. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that increases child care costs for parents. This rule can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the members of the Senate vote in favor of it. Additionally, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members would be required to sustain an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
