What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, to the concurrent resolution.

The rule would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that reduces federal funding or participation in school meal programs authorized by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966.

This point of order can only be waived or suspended by a vote of three-fifths of the Senate members.

An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would also be required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair regarding this point of order.
