What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Ms. Cortez Masto, creates a new point of order in the Senate against funding immigration enforcement actions at schools.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment aims to stop the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that provides funding for immigration enforcement actions at schools.

  • To get around this rule and allow such funding to be considered, it would take a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn.

  • Overturning a ruling by the Chair regarding this new rule would also require a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn.
