Summary

This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act to create a procedural rule known as a "point of order" that would prevent Congress from using reconciliation measures (legislation that requires only a simple majority in the Senate) to reduce enrollment, eligibility, or benefits for Medicaid or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The point of order would apply to reconciliation bills, resolutions, amendments, and conference reports. This restriction would expire on January 20, 2029.
