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 current resolution.

  • The rule would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that reduces federal funding under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act for students experiencing homelessness.

  • To bypass or suspend this rule in the Senate, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members is required.

  • An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members would also be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
