What the amendment aims to change or add
The amendment adds a new point of order to title IV of the budget resolution.

How it can be bypassed
To waive or suspend this rule in the Senate, or to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order, it requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
