MR. WARNER submitted SA 130, which is an amendment meant to be proposed for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025 through 2034. Plain and simple, it is about keeping our elected officials accountable when it comes to the roof over our heads. What It Aims to Change This amendment adds a new rule to the bill, creating a point of order against any reconciliation bill or resolution. Main Goal: It aims to stop the Senate from considering any reconciliation bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would not decrease the cost of housing for American families.
