  SA 200. Mr. SCOTT, of South Carolina submitted an amendment intended 
to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, 
setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government 
for fiscal year 2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels 
for fiscal years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST DISREGARDING SCIENCE AND 
                   CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION 
                   GUIDANCE BY FAILING TO REOPEN ELEMENTARY AND 
                   SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that 
     allocates funding for COVID-19 related emergency relief for 
     elementary or secondary schools in a manner that fails to 
     provide for reopening elementary and secondary schools for 
     in-person learning and, in turn, ignores science and guidance 
     from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that it 
     is safe to reopen such schools.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) 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 
     subsection (a).
       (c) Sunset.--This section shall cease to have force or 
     effect on December 31, 2022.
                                 ______
