     for fiscal year 2010 and the new outlays flowing therefrom.

     the Congress, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-
     estimates the President's request for discretionary spending 
     in fiscal year 2010 at an aggregate level different from the 
     CBO preliminary estimate dated March 20, 2009, the Chairman

     allocations pursuant to section 302(a) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 by the amount of budget authority and

     in order.
       (f) Inapplicability.--In the Senate, section 313 of S. Con. 
     Res. 70 (110th Congress) shall no longer apply.

     SEC. 303. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.

       (a) Authority To Designate.--In the Senate, with respect to 
     a provision of direct spending or receipts legislation or 
     appropriations for discretionary accounts that Congress 
     designates as an emergency requirement in such measure, the

     spending'', ``receipts'', and ``appropriations for 
     discretionary accounts'' mean any provision of a bill, joint 
     resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that

     terms have been defined and interpreted for purposes of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (e) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--When the Senate is considering a bill, 
     resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report, if a 
     point of order is made by a Senator against an emergency

     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 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

     estimated in advance, is not unforeseen.
       (g) Inapplicability.--In the Senate, section 204(a) of S. 
     Con. Res. 21 (110th Congress), the concurrent resolution on 
     the budget for fiscal year 2008, shall no longer apply.

                   SHORT-TERM DEFICIT.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or

     increase in the deficit in excess of $10,000,000,000 in any 
     fiscal year provided for in the most recently adopted 
     concurrent resolution on the budget unless it is fully offset

     SEC. 305. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST PROVISIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS 
                   LEGISLATION THAT CONSTITUTE CHANGES IN 
                   MANDATORY PROGRAMS AFFECTING THE CRIME VICTIMS 
                   FUND.

       (a) In General.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to 
     consider any appropriations legislation, including any 
     amendment thereto, motion in relation thereto, or conference 
     report thereon, that includes any provision or provisions 
     affecting the Crime Victims Fund, as defined by section 1402 
     of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10601), which 
     constitutes a change in a mandatory program 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. A point of order pursuant to this 
     section shall be raised against such provision or provisions 
     as described in subsections (d) and (e).
       (b) Determination.--The determination of whether a 
     provision is subject to a point of order pursuant to this 
     section shall be made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.
       (c) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be 
     waived or suspended in the Senate 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. 306. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT RAISES 
                   TAXES ON MIDDLE-INCOME TAXPAYERS.

       (a) In General.--After a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget is agreed to, it shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, resolution, amendment between Houses, 
     motion, or conference report that--
       (1) would cause revenues to be more than the level of 
     revenues set forth for that first fiscal year or for the 
     total of that fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years in the 
     applicable resolution for which allocations are provided 
     under section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, 
     and
