What this amendment would do

SA 4884 is an amendment proposed by Ms. Hirono, Mr. Van Hollen, Ms. Alsobrooks, and Mr. Schiff to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33.

  • Restriction: It would be out of order in the Senate to consider legislation that fails to increase participation in or funding for school meal programs.

  • Waiver: This restriction can only be waived or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate Members vote in favor.

  • Appeal: An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate Members is required to sustain an appeal of the Chair's ruling on this point of order.
