What this amendment would do
This amendment would establish a point of order, which is a procedural rule that prevents a specific type of legislation from being considered. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, resolution, motion, or report that gets savings from a reduction in force, which means a reduction in the number of employees. This rule applies if those savings could prevent enforcement actions against companies or individuals who engage in unfair or deceptive acts, target seniors for fraudulent schemes, or abuse the "Do Not Call" registry.
The amendment also states that this rule can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate members vote to do so. Additionally, a three-fifths vote would be required to sustain an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair, who is the presiding officer of the Senate, regarding this rule.
