shall be accompanied by a written statement fully disclosing

provision.
(b) Legislative Provisions to Which This Section Applies.--
This section shall apply to any legislative provision--

conventional fiscal estimate, has a revenue impact in excess
of $5,000,000,000 in any fiscal year; or
(2) with respect to which the chair or ranking member of
the Committee on the Budget of either the Senate or the House
