Consistent with scorekeeping guidelines in effect from 1990 through the enactment of this Act, changes enacted in annual appropriations Acts during a session of Congress to the level of contract authority provided by this Act shall be scored as discretionary to the extent they increase or decrease contract authority in the current year or the budget year, and shall be scored as mandatory or direct spending to the extent they increase or decrease contract authority in an outyear.
To the extent any such change in contract authority produces changes in estimated outlays in any year, that change in outlays shall be scored as discretionary if it is generated by a change in contract authority that is scored as discretionary, and shall be scored as mandatory if it is generated by a change in contract authority that is scored as mandatory.
