                        TITLE II--BUDGET PROCESS

     SEC. 201. PAY-AS-YOU-GO POINT OF ORDER IN THE SENATE.

       (a) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider any direct spending or revenue legislation that 
     would increase the on-budget deficit or cause an on-budget 
     deficit for any 1 of 4 applicable time periods as measured in 
     paragraphs (5) and (6).
       (2) Applicable time periods.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the term ``applicable time period'' means any 1 
     of the 4 following periods:
       (A) The current fiscal year.
       (B) The budget year.
       (C) The period of the 5 fiscal years following the current 
     fiscal year.
       (D) The period of the 5 fiscal years following the 5 fiscal 
     years referred to in subparagraph (C).
       (3) Direct spending legislation.--For purposes of this 
     subsection and except as provided in paragraph (4), the term 
     ``direct spending legislation'' means any bill, joint 
     resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that 
     affects direct spending as that term is defined by, and 
     interpreted for purposes of, the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (4) Exclusion.--For purposes of this subsection, the terms 
     ``direct spending legislation'' and ``revenue legislation'' 
     do not include--
       (A) any concurrent resolution on the budget; or
       (B) any provision of legislation that affects the full 
     funding of, and continuation of, the deposit insurance 
     guarantee commitment in effect on the date of enactment of 
     the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990.
       (5) Baseline.--Estimates prepared pursuant to this 
     subsection shall--
       (A) use the baseline surplus or deficit used for the most 
     recently adopted concurrent resolution on the budget; and
       (B) be calculated under the requirements of subsections (b) 
     through (d) of section 257 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 for fiscal years beyond 
     those covered by that concurrent resolution on the budget.
       (6) Prior surplus.--If direct spending or revenue 
     legislation increases the on-budget deficit or causes an on-
     budget deficit when taken individually, it must also increase 
     the on-budget deficit or cause an on-budget deficit when 
     taken together with all direct spending and revenue 
     legislation enacted since the beginning of the calendar year 
     not accounted for in the baseline under paragraph (5)(A), 
     except that direct spending or revenue effects resulting in 
     net deficit reduction enacted in any bill pursuant to a 
     reconciliation instruction since the beginning of that same 
     calendar year shall never be made available on the pay-as-
     you-go ledger and shall be dedicated only for deficit 
     reduction.
       (b) Supermajority Waiver and Appeals.--
       (1) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the 
     Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (2) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to any provision of this section shall be 
     limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and 
     controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the bill or 
     joint resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote of 
     three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and 
     sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of the ruling 
     of the Chair on a point of order raised under this section.
       (c) Determination of Budget Levels.--For purposes of this 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, and 
     revenues for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis 
     of estimates made by the Senate Committee on the Budget.
       (d) Sunset.--This section shall expire on September 30,

     SEC. 214. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST PROVISIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS 
                   LEGISLATION THAT CONSTITUTES CHANGES IN 
                   MANDATORY PROGRAMS WITH NET COSTS.

       (a) In General.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider any appropriations legislation, including any 
     amendment thereto, motion in relation thereto, or conference 
     report thereon, which includes one or more provisions that 
     would have been estimated as affecting 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 legislation other 
     than appropriations legislation, if such provision has a net 
     cost over the total of the period of the current year, the 
     budget year, and all fiscal years covered under the most 
     recently adopted concurrent resolution on the budget.
       (b) Determination.--For purposes of this section, the 
     determination of whether a provision violates paragraph (a) 
     shall be made by the Committee on the Budget of the Senate.
       (c) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be 
     waived or suspended only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under this 
     section.
       (d) General Point of Order.--It shall be in order for a 
     Senator to raise a single point of order that several 
     provisions of a bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or 
     conference report violate this section. The Presiding Officer 
     may sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 
     provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 
     order. If the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of 
     order as to some of the provisions (including provisions of 
     an amendment, motion, or conference report) against which the 
     Senator raised the point of order, then only those provisions 
     (including provision of an amendment, motion, or conference 
     report) against which the Presiding Officer sustains the 
     point of order shall be deemed stricken pursuant to this 
     section. Before the Presiding Officer rules on such a point 
     of order, any Senator may move to waive such a point of order 
     as it applies to some or all of the provisions against which 
     the point of order was raised. Such a motion to waive is 
     amendable in accordance with rules and precedents of the 
     Senate. After the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of 
     order, any Senator may appeal the ruling of the Presiding 
     Officer on such a point of order as it applies to some or all 
     of the provisions on which the Presiding Officer ruled.
       (e) Form of the Point of Order.--When the Senate is 
     considering a conference report on, or an amendment between 
     the Houses in relation to, a bill, upon a point of order 
     being made by any Senator pursuant to this section, and such 
     point of order being sustained, such material contained in 
     such conference report or amendment shall be deemed stricken, 
     and the Senate shall proceed to consider the question of 
     whether the Senate shall recede from its amendment and concur 
     with a further amendment, or concur in the House amendment 
     with a further amendment, as the case may be, which further 
     amendment shall consist of only that portion of the 
     conference report or House amendment, as the case may be, not 
     so stricken. Any such motion shall be debatable. In any case 
     in which such point of order is sustained against a 
     conference report (or Senate amendment derived from such 
     conference report by operation of this subsection), no 
     further amendment shall be in order.

     SEC. 215. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST COSTS.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any direct spending or revenue legislation that 
     is required to contain the statement described in section 
     308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, unless such 
     statement contains a projection by the Congressional Budget 
     Office of the cost of the debt servicing that would be caused 
     by such legislation for such fiscal year (or fiscal years) 
     and each of the 4 ensuing fiscal years.
       (b) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--

     suspended only by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (2) Appeal.--An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be

                TITLE III--RESERVE FUNDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

     SEC. 301. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR SCHIP LEGISLATION.

       (a) Priority.--The Senate establishes the following 
     priorities and makes the following findings:
       (1) The Senate shall make the enactment of legislation to 
     reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program 
     (SCHIP) a top priority for the remainder of fiscal year 2007, 
     during the first session of the 110th Congress.
       (2) Extending health care coverage to the Nation's 
     vulnerable uninsured children is an urgent priority for the 
     Senate.
       (3) SCHIP has proven itself a successful program for 
     covering previously uninsured children.
       (4) More than 6 million children are enrolled in this 
     landmark program, which has enjoyed broad bipartisan support 
     in Congress, among our Nation's governors, and within state 
     and local governments.
       (5) SCHIP reduces the percentage of children with unmet 
     health care needs.
       (6) Since SCHIP was created, enormous progress has been 
     made in reducing disparities in children's coverage rates.
       (7) Uninsured children who gain coverage through SCHIP 
     receive more preventive care and their parents report better 
     access to providers and improved communications with their 
     children's doctors.
       (8) Congress has a responsibility to reauthorize SCHIP 
     before the expiration of its current authorization.
       (b) Reserve Fund.--The Chairman of the Senate Committee on 
     the Budget may revise the allocations, aggregates, and other 
     appropriate levels in this resolution for a bill, joint 
     resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that 
     provides up to $50,000,000,000 for reauthorization of the 
     State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), if such 
     legislation maintains coverage for those currently enrolled 
     in SCHIP, continues efforts to reach uninsured children who 
     are already eligible for SCHIP or Medicaid but are not 
     enrolled, and supports States in their efforts to move 
     forward in covering more children, by the amounts provided in 
     that legislation for those purposes up to $20,000,000,000 
     over the total of fiscal years 2007 through 2012, provided 
     that such legislation would not increase the deficit over the 
     total of the period of fiscal years 2007 through 2012. Among 
     the policy changes that could be considered to achieve 
     offsets to the cost of reauthorizing the State Children's 
     Health Insurance Program and expanding coverage for children 
     is an increase in the tobacco products user fee rate with all 
     revenue generated by such increase dedicated to such 
     reauthorization and expansion.

     disabled military personnel or veterans (including the 
     elimination of the offset between Survivor Benefit Plan 
     annuities and veterans' dependency and indemnity 
     compensation) or improves the disability evaluations of 
     military personnel or veterans to expedite the claims 
     process, by the amounts provided in that legislation for that 
     purpose, provided that such legislation would not increase 
     the deficit over the total of the period of fiscal years 2007 
     through 2012.

     SEC. 303. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR TAX RELIEF.

     revise the aggregates, allocations, and other appropriate

     tax relief, such as enhanced charitable giving from 
     individual retirement accounts, and refundable tax relief and 
     including the reauthorization of the new markets tax credit 
     under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for an 
     additional 5 years, by the amounts provided in that

     effectiveness research, by the amounts provided in such 
     legislation for that purpose, provided that such legislation 
     would not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 
     2007 through 2012.

     years 2007 through 2012.

     price competition without requiring a particular formulary or
