     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST BUDGETARY GIMMICKS.

       (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``CHIMP'' means 
     a provision that--
       (1) would have been estimated as affecting direct spending 
     or receipts under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 902) (as in 
     effect prior to September 30, 2002) if the provision was 
     included in legislation other than appropriation Acts; and
       (2) results in a net decrease in budget authority in the 
     budget year, but does not result in a net decrease in outlays 
     over the period of the total of the current year, the budget 
     year, and all fiscal years covered under the most recently 
     adopted concurrent resolution on the budget.
       (b) Points of Order.--
       (1) In the senate.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider a bill or joint resolution making appropriations 
     for a full fiscal year, or an amendment thereto, amendment 
     between the Houses in relation thereto, conference report 
     thereon, or motion thereon, that includes a CHIMP that, if 
     enacted, would cause the absolute value of the total budget 
     authority of all such CHIMPs enacted in relation to a full 
     fiscal year to be more than the amount specified in paragraph 
     (3).
       (2) In the house of representatives.--
       (A) In general.--A provision in a bill or joint resolution 
     making appropriations for a full fiscal year that proposes a 
     CHIMP that, if enacted, would cause the absolute value of the 
     total budget authority of all such CHIMPs enacted in relation 
     to a full fiscal year to be more than the amount specified in 
     paragraph (3), shall not be in order in the House of 
     Representatives.
       (B) Amendments and conference reports.--It shall not be in 
     order in the House of Representatives to consider an 
     amendment to, or a conference report on, a bill or joint 
     resolution making appropriations for a full fiscal year if 
     such amendment thereto or conference report thereon proposes 
     a CHIMP that, if enacted, would cause the absolute value of 
     the total budget authority of all such CHIMPs enacted in 
     relation to a full fiscal year to be more than the amount 
     specified in paragraph (3).
       (3) Amount.--The amount specified in this paragraph is--

       (c) Determination.--For purposes of this section, budgetary 
     levels shall be determined on the basis of estimates provided 
     by the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the 
     applicable House of Congress.
       (d) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal in the Senate.--In the 
     Senate, subsection (b) may be waived or suspended 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 (b).
