What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a bill or motion, to the existing congressional budget resolution.

The amendment would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that would harm Indian Tribes or Native Americans. It would also prevent the consideration of any such items that reduce services provided under the trust and treaty obligations of the Federal Government to Indian Tribes and Native Americans.

The rules in this amendment can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members. Additionally, a three-fifths vote would be required to sustain an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
