    Resolved, That (a) it shall not be in order to consider--
            (1) a bill or joint resolution reported by any committee, 
        or any amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that 
        includes a congressional earmark or limited tax benefit; or
            (2) a bill or joint resolution not reported by any 
        committee, or any amendment thereto or conference report 
        thereon, that includes a congressional earmark or limited tax 
        benefit.
    (b) For the purposes of this resolution, the terms ``congressional 
earmark'' and ``limited tax benefit'' have the meaning given those 
terms in clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives.
    (c) The point of order under subsection (a) shall only apply to 
legislation providing or authorizing discretionary budget authority, 
credit authority, or other spending authority, or providing a Federal 
tax deduction, credit, or exclusion in fiscal year 2011.
    (d) This resolution shall not apply to any authorization of 
appropriations to a Federal entity if such authorization is not 
specifically targeted to a State, locality, or congressional district.
    Sec. 2.  The Committee on Rules may not report a rule or order that 
would waive the point of order set forth in the first section of this 
resolution.
