What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a bill, to prevent the consideration of legislation that decreases access to maternal healthcare through changes to Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
The rule would apply to any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that results in lower coverage rates, reduced benefits, or decreased affordability for pregnant women via these programs.
This point of order can only be waived or suspended by a three-fifths vote of the Senate members.
An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would also be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
