     Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 900 et seq.).

     or conference report, if a point of order is made by a

     that provision making

[[Page S2279]]

       (B) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to any provision of this subsection shall

     paragraph (1) may be raised by a Senator as provided in 
     section 313(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
     U.S.C. 644(e)).
       (5) Conference reports.--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 shall be 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 in the Senate 
     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.
       (f) Criteria.--

     beneficial);
       (B) sudden, quickly coming into being, and not building up 
     over time;
       (C) an urgent, pressing, and compelling need requiring 
     immediate action;
       (D) subject to paragraph (2), unforeseen, unpredictable, 
     and unanticipated; and
       (E) not permanent, temporary in nature.
       (2) Unforeseen.--An emergency that is part of an aggregate 
     level of anticipated emergencies, particularly when normally 
     estimated in advance, is not unforeseen.
       (g) Inapplicability.--In the Senate, section 4112 of H. 
     Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress), the concurrent resolution on 
     the budget for fiscal year 2018, shall no longer apply.

                   LEVELS.

       (a) Point of Order.--During each of fiscal years 2019 
     through 2028, it shall not be in order in the Senate to

     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     cause the amount of new budget authority, outlays, or 
     deficits to be more than, or would cause the amount of 
     revenues to be less than, the amount set forth under any 
     allocation, aggregate, or other level established under this 
     resolution.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of five-
     eighths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative

       (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``covered 
     legislation'' means a bill or resolution of a public 
     character reported by any committee of the Senate.
       (b) Duplication Determinations by the Congressional Budget 
     Office.--Any estimate provided by the Congressional Budget 
     Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 (2 U.S.C. 653) for covered legislation shall include an 
     analysis that includes--
       (1) a determination of whether the covered legislation 
     creates any new Federal program, office, or initiative that 
     would duplicate or overlap with any existing Federal entity 
     with similar mission, purpose, goals, or activities; and
       (2) a listing of all such instances of duplication or 
     overlapping created by the covered legislation.

     SEC. 4005. BREAKDOWN OF COST ESTIMATES BY BUDGET FUNCTION.

       Any cost estimate prepared by the Congressional Budget 
     Office shall specify the percentage of the estimated cost 
     that is within each budget function.

     SEC. 4006. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TREATMENT OF REDUCTION OF 
                   APPROPRIATIONS LEVELS TO ACHIEVE SAVINGS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) H. Con. Res. 448 (96th Congress), the concurrent 
     resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1981, gave 
     authorizing committees reconciliation instructions which 
     amounted to approximately two-thirds of the savings required 
     under reconciliation.
       (2) The language in H. Con. Res. 448 resulted in a debate 
     about how reconciling discretionary spending programs could 
     be in order given that authorizations of appropriations for 
     programs did not actually change spending and the programs 
     authorized would be funded through later annual 
     appropriation. The staff of the Committee on the Budget of 
     the Senate and the counsel to the Majority Leader advised 
     that upon consultation with the Parliamentarian, the original 
     instructions on discretionary spending would be out of order 
     because of the phrase, ``to modify programs''. This was seen 
     as too broad and programs could be modified without resulting 
     in changes to their future appropriations.
       (3) To rectify this violation, the Committee on the Budget 
     of the Senate reported S. Con. Res. 9 (97th Congress), 
     revising the congressional budget for the United States 
     Government for fiscal years 1981, 1982, and 1983, to include 
     reconciliation, which revised the language in the 
     reconciliation instructions to change entitlement law and 
     ``to report changes in laws within the jurisdiction of that 
     committee sufficient to reduce appropriations levels so as to 
     achieve savings''.
       (4) This was understood to mean changes in authorization 
     language of discretionary programs would be permissible under 
     reconciliation procedures provided such changes in law would 
     have the result in affecting a change in later outlays 
     derived from future appropriations. Further it was understood 
     that a change in authorization language that caused a change 
     in later outlays was considered to be a change in outlays for 
     the purpose of reconciliation.
       (5) On April 2, 1981, the Senate voted 88 to 10 to approve 
     S. Con. Res. 9 with the modified reconciliation language.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that committees reporting changes in laws within the 
     jurisdiction of that committee sufficient to reduce 
     appropriations levels so as to achieve savings shall be 
     considered to be changes in outlays for the purpose of 
     enforcing the prohibition on extraneous matters in 
     reconciliation bills.

     SEC. 4007. PROHIBITION ON PREEMPTIVE WAIVERS.

       In the Senate, it shall not be in order to move to waive or 
     suspend a point of order under the Congressional Budget Act 
     of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) or any concurrent resolution 
     on the budget with respect to a bill, joint resolution, 
     motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or 
     conference report unless the point of order has been 
     specifically raised by a Senator.

     SEC. 4008. ADJUSTMENTS FOR LEGISLATION REDUCING 
                   APPROPRIATIONS.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations in effect under section 302(a) of 
     the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 633(a)) and 
     the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and 
     other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill or 
     joint resolution considered pursuant to section 2001 
     containing the recommendations of one or more committees, or 
     for one or more amendments to, a conference report on, or an 
     amendment between the Houses in relation to such a bill or 
     joint resolution, by the amounts necessary to accommodate the 
     reduction in the amount of discretionary appropriations for a 
     fiscal year caused by the measure.

     SEC. 4009. AUTHORITY.

       Congress adopts this title under the authority under 
     section 301(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
     U.S.C. 632(b)(4)).

     SEC. 4010. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

       Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
       (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, 
     and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of 
     the Senate and such rules shall supersede other rules only to 
     the extent that they are inconsistent with such other rules; 
     and
       (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     the Senate to change those rules at any time, in the same 
     manner, and to the same extent as is the case of any other 
     rule of the Senate.
