What this amendment would do

  • Sets up money: This amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to lowering food prices.

  • Targets specific legislation: These changes can be made for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports that relate to lowering food prices.

  • Protects certain programs: The efforts to lower food prices may include prohibiting provisions that decrease funding for programs that combat animal disease or programs aimed at reducing input costs for farmers.
