Unanimous Consent Agreement

The majority and minority leaders of the Senate propose that:

Bills taken up in today's floor session will be considered in periods of 15 minutes. The first four minutes of each session will be allocated to floor managers of the bill. The floor manager of the presenting party will speak first for up to two minutes, followed by their colleague for another two minutes. The remaining 11 minutes will be allocated for amending the bill. The presenting floor manager will recognize motions to amend. Speaking time during this portion will be 2 minutes until time for the bill elapses. If agreed upon by the majority and minority leaders, time spent on a specific bill may be extended for five minutes. A simple majority is required to pass an amendment. When time elapses on a bill, a vote will be immediately called for its approval.

Amendments may be submitted at any time before a bill's passage, but Senators are encouraged to share any amendments as soon as possible.

The following bills will be considered, in order:

-S. 3302

-S. 2

-S. 3579

-S. 3

Regards,

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
