What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis joint resolution proposes changing the Constitution to limit how the Senate can end debate on bills and motions. The proposed amendment says debate can only be stopped in three ways: following the rules that were in place on January 3, 2025, by unanimous agreement of all senators, or with approval from at least three-fifths of all senators. The amendment would become part of the Constitution if three-fourths of state legislatures approve it.
