Section 306(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 ( 2 U.S.C. 637(a) ) is amended to read as follows: 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 containing any matter which is within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Fiscal Control and the Budget of the Senate unless the provision is in— a bill or joint resolution which has been reported by the Committee on Fiscal Control and the Budget of the Senate (or from the consideration of which such committee has been discharged); or an amendment to, amendment between the Houses in relation to, conference report on, or motion on a bill or joint resolution described in subparagraph (A).
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. A point of order under paragraph
(1)may be raised by a Senator as provided in section 313(e). 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 paragraph (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. In the Senate, debate on any such motion, and any debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to 1 hour. 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 paragraph), no further amendment shall be in order. .
