LEGISLATION.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to legislation that permits Congress, if in a given
fiscal year, as determined by the Director of the
Congressional Budget Office, cumulative spending on welfare
and poverty means-tested assistance programs exceeds
$1,000,000,000,000, to consider legislation which reforms
such programs, with the goal of helping transition
individuals from dependency to self-sufficiency whenever
possible, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
that purpose, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
