What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill or motion, to the concurrent resolution. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that increases taxes on people with an adjusted gross income of less than $400,000. The rule could only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate members vote in favor of doing so. Additionally, three-fifths of the Senate members would be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair, which is the presiding officer of the Senate, regarding this rule.
