Summary

This resolution establishes the procedural framework for the House of Representatives to immediately consider and adopt H.R. 185, waiving all points of order and limiting debate to facilitate its swift passage. The substantive policy contained within H.R. 185 amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to introduce significant new limitations on the reconciliation process. Specifically, it creates a point of order against any reconciliation bill or resolution that would reduce enrollment or benefits for individuals participating in the Medicaid program . Furthermore, the bill prohibits reconciliation measures from reducing eligibility or benefits for households receiving assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) . These crucial protections for social safety net programs are temporary, designed to remain in effect until January 20, 2029.
