    The purpose of this division is to reestablish a statutory 
procedure to enforce a rule of budget neutrality on new revenue and 
direct spending legislation.

SEC. 103. DEFINITIONS.

    As used in this division--
            (1) The term ``BBEDCA'' means the Balanced Budget and 
        Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
            (2) The definitions set forth in section 3 of the 
        Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 and in 
        section 250 of BBEDCA shall apply to this division, except to 
        the extent that they are specifically modified as follows:
                    (A) The term ``outyear'' means a fiscal year that 
                occurs one or more years after the budget year.
                    (B) In section 250(c)(8)(C), the reference to the 
                food stamp program shall be deemed to be a reference to 
                the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
            (3) The term ``AMT'' means the Alternative Minimum Tax for 
        individuals under sections 55-59 of the Internal Revenue Code 
        of 1986, the term ``EGTRRA'' means the Economic Growth and Tax 
        Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-16), and the 
        term ``JGTRRA'' means the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief and 
        Reconciliation Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-27).
            (4)(A) The term ``budgetary effects'' means the amounts by 
        which PAYGO legislation changes direct spending or revenues 
        relative to the baseline and shall be determined on the basis 
        of estimates included by reference in the PAYGO Act or prepared 
        under section 104(d)(3), as applicable. Budgetary effects that 
        increase direct spending or decrease revenues are termed 
        ``costs'' and budgetary effects that increase revenues or 
        decrease direct spending are termed ``savings''.
            (B) For purposes of these definitions, off-budget effects 
        shall be counted as budgetary effects unless such changes flow 
        directly from amendments to title II of the Social Security Act 
        and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and 
        debt service effects shall not be counted as budgetary effects.
            (C) Solely for purposes of recording entries on a PAYGO 
        scorecard, provisions in appropriations Acts are also 
        considered to be budgetary effects for purposes of this 
        division if such provisions make outyear modifications to 
        substantive law, except that provisions for which the outlay 
        effects net to zero over a period consisting of the current 
        year, the budget year, and the 4 subsequent years shall not be 
        considered budgetary effects. For purposes of this paragraph, 
        the term, ``modifications to substantive law'' refers to 
        changes to or restrictions on entitlement law or other 
        mandatory spending contained in appropriations Acts, 
        notwithstanding section 250(c)(8) of BBEDCA. Provisions in 
        appropriations Acts that are neither outyear modifications to 
        substantive law nor changes in revenues have no budgetary 
        effects for purposes of this division.
            (D) If a provision is designated as an emergency 
        requirement under this division and is also designated as an 
        emergency requirement under the applicable rules of the House 
        of Representatives, CBO shall not include the cost of such a 
        provision in its estimate of the PAYGO legislation's budgetary 
        effects.
            (5) The term ``debit'' refers to the net total amount, when 
        positive, by which costs recorded on the PAYGO scorecards for a 
        fiscal year exceed savings recorded on those scorecards for 
        that year.
            (6) The term ``entitlement law'' refers to a section of law 
        which provides entitlement authority.
            (7) The term ``PAYGO legislation'' or a ``PAYGO Act'' 
        refers to a bill or joint resolution that affects direct 
        spending or revenue relative to the baseline. The budgetary 
        effects of changes in revenues and outyear modifications to 
        substantive law included in appropriation Acts as defined in 
        paragraph (4) shall be treated as if they were contained in 
        PAYGO legislation.
            (8) The term ``timing shift'' refers to a delay of the date 
        on which direct spending would otherwise occur from the ninth 
        outyear to the tenth outyear or an acceleration of the date on 
        which revenues would otherwise occur from the tenth outyear to 
        the ninth outyear.

SEC. 104. PAYGO ESTIMATES AND PAYGO SCORECARDS.

    (a) Paygo Estimates.--(1) A PAYGO Act shall include by reference an 
estimate of its budgetary effects as determined under section 308(a)(3) 
of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, if timely submitted for 
printing in the Congressional Record by the chairs of the Committees on 
the Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate, as 
applicable, before the vote on the PAYGO legislation. The Clerk of the 
House or the Secretary of the Senate, as applicable, shall also 
incorporate by reference such estimate printed in the relevant portion 
of the Congressional Record under section 308(a)(3) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 into the enrollment of a PAYGO Act. 
Budgetary effects that are not so included shall be determined under 
section 104(d)(3).
    (2)(A) Section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is 
amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(3) CBO paygo estimates.--Before a vote in either House 
        on a PAYGO Act that, if determined in the affirmative, would 
        clear such Act for enrollment, the chairs of the Committees on 
        the Budget of the House and Senate, as applicable, shall 
        request from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office an 
        estimate of the budgetary effects of such Act under the 
        Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009. If such an estimate is 
        timely provided, the chairs of the Committees on the Budget of 
        the House of Representatives and the Senate shall post such 
        estimate on their respective committee websites and cause it to 
        be printed in the Congressional Record under the heading `PAYGO 
        ESTIMATE'. For purposes of this section, the Director of the 
        Congressional Budget Office shall not count timing shifts in 
        his estimates of the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation (as 
        defined in section 103 of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 
        2009).''.
    (B) The side heading of section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 is amended by striking ``Reports on''.
    (b) Section 308 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is amended 
by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(d) Scorekeeping Guidelines.--The Director of the Congressional 
Budget Office shall provide estimates under this section in accordance 
with the scorekeeping guidelines determined under section 252(d)(5) of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. Upon 
agreement, the chairs of the Committees on the Budget of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate shall submit updates to such guidelines 
for printing in the Congressional Record.''.
    (c) Current Policy Adjustments for Certain Legislation.--For 
purposes of calculating budgetary effects under this division, CBO 
shall adjust its estimates as described below for any provision of 
legislation designated as meeting the criteria in subsection (b), (c), 
or (d) of section 107 and which the chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as applicable, 
designates as meeting those criteria. A single piece of legislation may 
contain provisions designated as meeting criteria in more than one of 
the subsections listed above. For appropriately designated provisions, 
CBO shall exclude from its estimates for purposes of this division any 
costs of a provision to the extent that those costs, when combined with 
all other excluded costs of any other previously designated provisions 
of enacted legislation under the same subsection of section 107, do not 
exceed the maximum applicable current policy adjustment defined under 
the applicable subsection of section 107 for the applicable 10-year 
period, using the most recent baseline estimates supplied by the 
Congressional Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 used in considering a 
concurrent resolution on the budget; or, after the beginning of a new 
calendar year and before consideration of a concurrent resolution on 
the budget, using the most recent baseline estimates supplied by the 
Congressional Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. CBO estimates of 
legislation containing a current policy designation under this 
subsection shall include a separate presentation of costs excluded from 
the calculation of budgetary effects for the legislation, as well as an 
updated total of all excluded costs of provisions within the same 
subsection of section 107.
    (d) OMB Paygo Scorecards.--
            (1) In general.--OMB shall maintain and make publicly 
        available a continuously updated document containing two PAYGO 
        scorecards displaying the budgetary effects of PAYGO 
        legislation as determined under section 308 of the 
        Congressional Budget Act of 1974, applying the look-back 
        requirement in subsection (e) and the averaging requirement in 
        subsection (f), and a separate addendum displaying the 
        estimates of the costs of provisions designated in statute as 
        emergency requirements.
            (2) Estimates in legislation.--Except as provided in 
        paragraph (3), in making the calculations for the PAYGO 
        scorecards, OMB shall use the budgetary effects included by 
        reference in the applicable legislation.
            (3) OMB estimates.--If legislation does not contain the 
        estimate of budgetary effects under paragraph (2), then OMB 
        shall score the budgetary effects of that legislation upon its 
        enactment, based on the approaches to scorekeeping set forth in 
        this division.
            (4) 5-year scorecard.--The first scorecard shall display 
        the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in each year over 
        the 5-year period beginning in the budget year.
            (5) 10-year scorecard.--The second scorecard shall display 
        the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in each year over 
        the 10-year period beginning in the budget year.
    (e) Look-back to Capture Current-year Effects.--For purposes of 
this section, OMB shall treat the budgetary effects of PAYGO 
legislation enacted during a session of Congress that occur during the 
current year as though they occurred in the budget year.
    (f) Averaging Used to Measure Compliance Over 5-year and 10-year 
Periods.--OMB shall cumulate the budgetary effects of a PAYGO Act over 
the budget year (which includes any look-back effects under subsection 
(e)) and--
            (1) for purposes of the 5-year scorecard referred to in 
        subsection (d)(4), the four subsequent outyears, divide that 
        cumulative total by five, and enter the quotient in the budget-
        year column and in each subsequent column of the 5-year PAYGO 
        scorecard; and
            (2) for purposes of the 10-year scorecard referred to in 
        subsection (d)(5), the nine subsequent outyears, divide that 
        cumulative total by ten, and enter the quotient in the budget-
        year column and in each subsequent column of the 10-year PAYGO 
        scorecard.

SEC. 105. ANNUAL REPORT AND SEQUESTRATION ORDER.

    (a) Annual Report.--Not later than 14 days (excluding weekends and 
holidays) after Congress adjourns to end a session, OMB shall make 
publicly available and cause to be printed in the Federal Register an 
annual PAYGO report. The report shall include an up-to-date document 
containing the PAYGO scorecards, a description of any current policy 
adjustments made under section 104(c), information about emergency 
legislation (if any) designated under section 103(4)(D), information 
about any sequestration if required by subsection (b), and other data 
and explanations that enhance public understanding of this division and 
actions taken under it.
    (b) Sequestration Order.--If the annual report issued at the end of 
a session of Congress under subsection (a) shows a debit on either 
PAYGO scorecard for the budget year, OMB shall prepare and the 
President shall issue and include in that report a sequestration order 
that, upon issuance, shall reduce budgetary resources of direct 
spending programs by enough to offset that debit as prescribed in 
section 106. If there is a debit on both scorecards, the order shall 
fully offset the larger of the two debits. OMB shall include that order 
in the annual report and transmit it to the House of Representatives 
and the Senate. If the President issues a sequestration order, the 
annual report shall contain, for each budget account to be sequestered, 
estimates of the baseline level of budgetary resources subject to 
sequestration, the amount of budgetary resources to be sequestered, and 
the outlay reductions that will occur in the budget year and the 
subsequent fiscal year because of that sequestration.

SEC. 106. CALCULATING A SEQUESTRATION.

    (a) Reducing Nonexempt Budgetary Resources by a Uniform 
Percentage.--OMB shall calculate the uniform percentage by which the 
budgetary resources of nonexempt direct spending programs are to be 
sequestered such that the outlay savings resulting from that 
sequestration, as calculated under subsection (b), shall offset the 
budget-year debit, if any on the applicable PAYGO scorecard. If the 
uniform percentage calculated under the prior sentence exceeds 4 
percent, the Medicare programs described in section 256(d) of BBEDCA 
shall be reduced by 4 percent and the uniform percentage by which the 
budgetary resources of all other nonexempt direct spending programs are 
to be sequestered shall be increased, as necessary, so that the 
sequestration of Medicare and of all other nonexempt direct spending 
programs together produce the required outlay savings.
    (b) Outlay Savings.--In determining the amount by which a 
sequestration offsets a budget-year debit, OMB shall count--
            (1) the amount by which the sequestration in a crop year of 
        crop support payments, pursuant to section 256(j) of BBEDCA, 
        reduces outlays in the budget year and the subsequent fiscal 
        year;
            (2) the amount by which the sequestration of Medicare 
        payments in the 12-month period following the sequestration 
        order, pursuant to section 256(d) of BBEDCA, reduces outlays in 
        the budget year and the subsequent fiscal year; and
            (3) the amount by which the sequestration in the budget 
        year of the budgetary resources of other nonexempt mandatory 
        programs reduces outlays in the budget year and in the 
        subsequent fiscal year.

SEC. 107. CURRENT POLICY ADJUSTMENT TO THE CBO ESTIMATES.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to provide for 
adjustments of estimates of budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation for 
legislation affecting four areas of the budget--
            (1) payments made under section 1848 of the Social Security 
        Act (titled Payment for Physicians' Services);
            (2) the Estate and Gift Tax under subtitle B of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
            (3) the AMT; and
            (4) provisions of EGTRRA or JGTRRA that amended the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or provisions in later statutes 
        further amending the amendments made by EGTRRA or JGTRRA), 
        other than--
                    (A) the provisions of those two Acts that were made 
                permanent by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Public 
                Law 109-280);
                    (B) amendments to the estate and gift tax referred 
                to in paragraph (2);
                    (C) the AMT referred to in paragraph (3);
                    (D) the 35 percent bracket and that portion of the 
                33 percent bracket that applies to taxable income 
                greater than $200,000 for an individual and $250,000 
                for a couple; and
                    (E) provisions in those two Acts relating to taxes 
                rates on capital gains and dividends.
    (b) Medicare Payments to Physicians.--
            (1) Criteria.--Legislation that includes provisions 
        amending or superseding the system of payments under section 
        1848 of the Social Security Act shall trigger the current 
        policy adjustment required by this division.
            (2) Adjustment.--The amount of the maximum current policy 
        adjustment shall be the difference between--
                    (A) estimated net outlays attributable to the 
                payments made to physicians under that section of the 
                Social Security Act (as scheduled on July 15, 2009, to 
                be in effect); and
                    (B) what those net outlays would have been if the 
                nominal payment rates and related parameters in effect 
                for 2009 had been in effect thereafter without change.
    (c) Estate and Gift Tax.--
            (1) Criteria.--Legislation that includes provisions 
        amending the Estate and Gift Tax under subtitle B of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall trigger the current policy 
        adjustment required by this division.
            (2) Adjustment.--The amount of the maximum current policy 
        adjustment shall be the difference between--
                    (A) total revenues projected to be collected under 
                the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as scheduled on July 
                15, 2009, to be in effect); and
                    (B) what those revenue collections would have been 
                if, on the date of enactment of the legislation meeting 
                the criteria in paragraph (1), estate and gift tax law 
                had instead been amended so that the tax rates, nominal 
                exemption amounts, and related parameters in effect for 
                tax year 2009 had remained in effect thereafter without 
                change.
    (d) Permanent Extension of Middle-Class Tax Cuts and AMT Relief.--
            (1) Criteria.--Legislation that includes provisions 
        extending middle-class tax cuts or AMT relief shall trigger the 
        current policy adjustment required by this division if those 
        provisions extend one or more of the following provisions--
                    (A) AMT relief for calendar year 2010 and 
                subsequent years in such a manner that the number of 
                AMT taxpayers is not estimated to exceed the number of 
                AMT taxpayers in tax year 2008 in any year through the 
                tenth year after enactment;
                    (B) the 10 percent bracket as in effect for tax 
                year 2010, as provided for under section 101(a) of the 
                Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 
                2001 and any later amendments through July 15, 2009;
                    (C) the child tax credit as in effect for tax year 
                2010, as provided for under section 201 of the Economic 
                Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act and any later 
                amendments through July 15, 2009;
                    (D) tax benefits for married couples as in effect 
                for tax year 2010, as provided for under title III of

                    (F) the dependent care credit as in effect in tax 
                year 2010, as provided for under section 204 of the 
                Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 
                2001 and any later amendments through July 15, 2009;

                effect in tax year 2010, as provided for under section 
                205 of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief 
                Reconciliation Act of 2001 and any later amendments 
                through July 15, 2009;
                    (H) the education tax benefits as in effect in tax

                    (I) the 25 and 28 percent brackets as in effect for 
                tax year 2010, as provided for under section 101(a) of 
                the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act

                and
                    (J) the 33 percent brackets as in effect for tax 
                year 2010, as provided for under section 101(a) of the 
                Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 
                2001 and any later amendment affecting taxpayers with 
                taxable income of $200,000 or less for individuals and 
                $250,000 or less for couples in calendar year 2010 and 
                increased in each subsequent year by an amount equal to 
                the cost of living adjustment determined under section 
                1(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for the 
                calendar year in which the taxable year begins, 
                determined by substituting ``calendar year 2008'' for 
                ``calendar year 1992'' in subparagraph (B) thereof.
            (2) Adjustment.--The amount of the maximum current policy 
        adjustment shall be the difference between what total revenues 
        would have been under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as 
        scheduled on July 15, 2009, to be in effect) and what revenues 
        would be if legislation--
                    (A) permanently extending the AMT exemption and 
                brackets in effect in tax year 2009 but increased in 
                tax year 2010 and each subsequent tax year as indicated 
                under subsection (d)(2)(B), along with any additional 
                amount necessary to prevent the number of taxpayers who 
                must pay AMT from increasing; and
                    (B) permanently extending the provisions identified 
                in paragraph (1),
        were enacted on the same day as the legislation referred to in 
        paragraph (1).
