What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new rule regarding what the Senate can consider during the budget process.
It establishes a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, against legislation if the effect on inflation is unknown.
Under this rule, the Senate could not consider a bill or joint resolution unless the Congressional Budget Office has determined and made public its effect on inflation.
The amendment also states that this rule can only be waived or suspended by a vote of three-fifths of the Senate members.
Additionally, a three-fifths vote of the Senate members would be required to uphold an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
