What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule that prevents certain actions, to the budget resolution. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, or amendment that increases taxes on people with an adjusted gross income of less than $400,000. To bypass this rule, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would be required to waive or suspend it. This same three-fifths vote would also be necessary to uphold an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
