It still must get through an open amendment process, followed by a final vote later this week. It then must be passed by the house. Budget resolutions are not subject to the 60 vote rule.

It's important to note that this process merely enables reconciliation to be used for tax reform. The actual tax reform bill will be voted on after this process is complete.
