Note: The American Jobs Plan has been announced as having two separate legislative parts/packages. The second legislative package has yet to be presented, although the procedues for a reconciliation process in the Senate for two packages were announced as approved by the Parliamentarian on April 5.

Rules of Procedure for 'The American Jobs Plan Legislation'

The U.S. Senate parliamentarian ruled today that Democrats can use special budgetary rules to avoid a GOP filibuster on two more pieces of legislation, setting the stage for President Biden's infrastructure agenda to pass in two packages with simple-majority votes.

The new ruling will enable Majority Leader Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to break up Biden’s infrastructure proposal into two legislative packages.

The first portion, a $2.25 trillion measure unveiled by the White House last month, includes more traditional infrastructure priorities. The second part, planned for later in the year, will include more people-focused spending priorities favored by progressives, such as expanded child care, free community college, universal prekindergarten and more affordable housing.
