                   PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS.

       (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 would 
     impede innovation by delaying the development and 
     availability of COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines for 
     individuals with pre-existing conditions, and result in 
     increased cases and hospitalizations associated with COVID-
     19.
       (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).
