What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule that prevents certain actions, to the budget resolution. It would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that reduces nursing home staffing ratios below one nurse available at any time. This rule can only be bypassed or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
