What this amendment would do
Ms. Rosen submitted this amendment to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 to keep our elected officials accountable when it comes to taxes and programs for everyday people.
What It Aims to Change
- Creates a new rule: It adds a point of order in the Senate against certain legislation.
- Protects working families: It stops the Senate from considering any bill, resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that reduces tax rates for the ultra-wealthy if it hurts programs that lower costs for working families.
- Sets a high bar to bypass the rule: This new rule can only be waived, suspended, or have its ruling sustained by a three-fifths vote of the chosen and sworn members of the Senate.
