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 legislation that would raise energy costs for Americans. This includes actions such as repealing domestic energy incentives, imposing new tariffs, or impounding funds that have been appropriated by Congress. This rule can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate members vote in favor of it. Additionally, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
