What this amendment would do
Mr. Kelly submitted amendment SA 489 to be proposed to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, which sets forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
The purpose of this amendment is to add a new point of order against using tax dollars to subsidize private schools.
It aims to change the bill by making it out of order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that spends tax dollars collected from taxpayers to subsidize the cost of private schools.
The amendment also states that this point of order may be waived or suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. Additionally, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, is required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under this section.
