What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a bill or motion, to the concurrent resolution.
The amendment would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that makes changes to the Medicaid program or the Children's Health Insurance Program unless a specific condition is met. This condition requires the Director of the Congressional Budget Office to certify that the changes will not result in lower coverage rates, reduced benefits, or decreased affordability for children receiving coverage through those programs.
The amendment also includes rules for how this point of order can be addressed. The rule may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate. Additionally, an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members is required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair regarding this point of order.
