What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new rule to the concurrent resolution regarding the federal budget.
The rule establishes a point of order, which is a procedural objection, to prevent the Senate from considering any legislative action that limits how federal law enforcement investigates drug trafficking and human trafficking to assist with immigration enforcement.
If this point of order is raised, it 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 the ruling made by the Chair, who is the presiding officer of the Senate.
