What this amendment would do

SA 5225, submitted by Mr. HEINRICH, aims to add a new section to title IV of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a point of order in the Senate against any:

  • Bill
  • Joint resolution
  • Motion
  • Amendment
  • Amendment between the Houses
  • Conference report

That would prevent affordable energy sources from connecting to the grid.

The amendment also specifies that this point of order can only be waived, suspended, or sustained on appeal with an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate.
