What this amendment would do

SA 5226, submitted by Mr. Heinrich, aims to add a new section to title IV of the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a point of order in the Senate. This means it would prevent the Senate from considering any:

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

that would increase the cost of electricity bills for American citizens.

To waive or suspend this rule, or to sustain an appeal of the Chair's ruling on this point of order, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate is required.
