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.
The rule would prevent the Senate from considering any legislation that reduces funding for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) personnel performing critical safety or national security functions. It also covers legislation that reduces funding for National Airspace System Defense Programs, early warning radar systems, or related programs.
To bypass or ignore this rule, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would be required. This three-fifths vote would also be necessary to sustain an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair, who is the presiding officer of the Senate.
