What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to prevent certain actions, to the current budget resolution.
It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that cuts funding for programs helping agricultural producers and rural small businesses implement renewable energy systems or energy efficiency improvements.
The amendment states that this rule can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the members of the Senate vote in favor of doing so.
Additionally, a three-fifths vote of the members of the Senate would be required to uphold an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
