What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new rule regarding a point of order, which is a procedural objection used to stop a bill from being considered. It would prevent the Senate from considering a bill or joint resolution reported through a process called reconciliation unless that legislation increases the corporate tax rate to 24 percent. This rule would also apply to any amendments made to such bills or any agreements between the House and Senate regarding these bills. The rule can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the members of the Senate vote in favor of doing so. Additionally, three-fifths of the Senate members must vote to uphold a challenge to the ruling made by the Chair, which is the presiding officer of the Senate.
