     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD FAIL 
                   TO PROTECT CONSCIENCE RIGHTS FOR HEALTH CARE 
                   ENTITIES WITH REGARD TO GENDER REASSIGNMENT 
                   SURGERY.

       (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 
     provides funding to a Federal agency or program or to a State 
     or local government, if such agency, program, or government 
     subjects any institutional or individual health care entity 
     to discrimination on the basis that the health care entity 
     does not provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for 
     gender transition or reassignment surgeries, procedures, or 
     medications.
       (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).
