SEC. 2. BUDGET ENFORCEMENT.

    (a) Extension of Supermajority Enforcement.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any provision of the Congressional 
        Budget Act of 1974, subsections (c)(2) and (d)(3) of section 904 of the 
        Congressional Budget Act of 1974 shall remain in effect for purposes of 
        Senate enforcement through April 15, 2003.
            (2) Exception.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the enforcement of 
        section 302(f)(2)(B) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
    (b) Pay-As-You-Go Rule in the Senate.--
            (1) In general.--For purposes of Senate enforcement, section 207 of 
        H. Con. Res. 68 (106th Congress, 1st Session) shall be construed as 
        follows:
                    (A) In subsection (b)(6), by inserting after ``paragraph 
                (5)(A)'' the following: ``, except that direct spending or 
                revenue effects resulting in net deficit reduction enacted 
                pursuant to reconciliation instructions since the beginning of 
                that same calendar year shall not be available''.
                    (B) In subsection (g), by striking ``September 30, 2002'' 
                and inserting ``April 15, 2003''.
            (2) Scorecard.--For purposes of enforcing section 207 of House 
        Concurrent Resolution 68 (106th Congress), upon the adoption of this 
        section the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate shall 
        adjust balances of direct spending and receipts for all fiscal years to 
        zero.
            (3) Application to appropriations.--For the purposes of enforcing 
        this resolution, notwithstanding rule 3 of the Budget Scorekeeping 
        Guidelines set forth in the joint explanatory statement of the committee 
        of conference accompanying Conference Report 105-217, during the 
        consideration of any appropriations Act, provisions of an amendment 
        (other than an amendment reported by the Committee on Appropriations 
        including routine and ongoing direct spending or receipts), a motion, or 
        a conference report thereon (only to the extent that such provision was 
        not committed to conference), that would have been estimated as changing 
        direct spending or receipts under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and 
        Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as in effect prior to September 
        30, 2002) were they included in an Act other than an appropriations Act 
        shall be treated as direct spending or receipts legislation, as 
        appropriate, under section 207 of H. Con. Res. 68 (106th Congress, 1st 
        Session) as amended by this resolution.
