What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule that prevents certain actions, to the budget resolution.
It would make it out of order for the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that reduces funding for resource partners of the Small Business Administration.
These resource partners include veteran business outreach centers, women's business centers, small business development centers, and the Service Corps of Retired Executives program.
The rule could only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate.
An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate would also be required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair regarding this point of order.
