What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a rule to prevent the Senate from considering certain legislative actions that would increase the average time it takes to process applications for Federal programs.
A point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill or motion, would be used to stop any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that increases these processing times.
The rule could only be bypassed or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate members vote to do so.
Additionally, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would be required to uphold an appeal regarding a ruling made on this point of order.
