     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST A PROVISION IN 
                   RECONCILIATION LEGISLATION ALLOWING THE USE OF 
                   FEDERAL FUNDS TO RESEARCH EXPERIMENTAL 
                   INTERVENTIONS INTO THE NORMAL PHYSICAL 
                   DEVELOPMENT OF MINORS.

       (a) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to 
     consider a provision in a bill, joint resolution, motion, 
     amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report 
     that is a reconciliation measure related to this budget 
     resolution that would allow Federal funds to be used to 
     research experimental interventions, including hormonal 
     interventions and sex reassignment surgery, into the normal 
     physical development of minors.
       (2) Point of order sustained.--If a point of order is made 
     by a Senator against a provision described in paragraph (1), 
     and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, that 
     provision shall be stricken from the measure and may not be 
     offered as an amendment from the floor.
       (b) Form of the Point of Order.--A point of order under 
     subsection (a)(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)).
       (c) Conference Reports.--When the Senate is considering a 
     conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in 
     relation to, a bill or joint resolution, upon a point of 
     order being made by any Senator pursuant to subsection 
     (a)(1), and such point of order being sustained, such 
     material contained in such conference report or House 
     amendment 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.
       (d) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--In the Senate, this 
     section may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative 
     vote of two-thirds of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An 
     affirmative vote of two-thirds of 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 this 
     section.
                                 ______
