What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a specific action, to prevent the reduction or elimination of funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is the agency responsible for coordinating Federal Government disaster response and helping local communities and States recover from disasters.
The amendment states that it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would reduce funding to or eliminate this agency. This rule can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair regarding this point of order.
