  SA 5260. Mr. KIM submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2027 through 2035; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST RECONCILIATION LEGISLATION 
                   THAT WOULD ADVERSELY IMPACT THE RIGHT OF WOMEN 
                   TO VOTE IF ENACTED.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider a bill or joint resolution reported pursuant to 
     section 2002, or an amendment to, conference report on, or 
     amendment between the Houses in relation to such a bill or 
     joint resolution, if the reconciliation legislation contains 
     voting provisions, including provisions related to voter 
     registration or ballot access, that could reasonably be 
     considered to adversely impact the right of women to vote, 
     including legislation that implements barriers to voting for 
     women who have changed their names due to marriage or other 
     obstacles that can be demonstrated to impact women who are 
     eligible to vote.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
                                 ______
