What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution regarding the consideration of certain bills. It establishes a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, that prevents the Senate from considering a bill unless the Congressional Budget Office has published an estimate of the legislation's effect on inflation. This inflation estimate must be made available on the website of the Congressional Budget Office during the 72-hour period ending on the vote for final passage. This rule can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members is also required to sustain an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
