What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to prevent certain actions, to the budget resolution. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that eliminates the authorization for Federal Direct PLUS Loans made to parents of dependent students. This rule can only be bypassed if three-fifths of the Senate members vote to waive or suspend it. Additionally, three-fifths of the Senate members must vote to uphold an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
