Bill Intelligence
The bill aims to adjust the minimum amount in controversy for diversity jurisdiction in federal courts from $75,000 to $150,000, to be further adjusted every ten years based on the Consumer Price Index. It specifies the rounding rules for the adjustments and mandates publication of the new minimum amount in the Federal Register. Additionally, the bill authorizes the court to deny costs to the plaintiff if they are entitled to recover less than the minimum threshold, exclusive of interest and costs, and allows imposition of costs on the plaintiff.

A senator may request unanimous consent on the floor to set aside a specified rule of procedure so as to expedite proceedings. If no Senator objects, the Senate permits the action, but if any one senator objects, the request is rejected. Unanimous consent requests with only immediate effects are routinely granted, but ones affecting the floor schedule, the conditions of considering a bill or other business, or the rights of other senators, are normally not offered, or a floor leader will object to it, until all senators concerned have had an opportunity to inform the leaders that they find it acceptable.
