At the appropriate place in title I, add the following:

SEC. __. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT
FOR CBO SCORES BEFORE VOTES.

(a) Revival of Point of Order.--
(1) In general.--Section 4111 of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th
Congress), the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal
year 2018, is amended--
(A) by striking ``Sections 3205 and 3206'' and inserting
``Section 3206''; and
(B) by striking ``are repealed'' and inserting ``is
repealed''.
(2) Applicability.--In the Senate, section 3205 of S. Con.
Res. 11 (114th Congress), the concurrent resolution on the
budget for fiscal year 2016, shall be applied and
administered as if the repeal of such section 3205 under
section 4111 of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress), the
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, had
never been enacted.
(b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``score before
voting requirement'' means the requirement under section 3205
of S. Con. Res 11 (114th), the concurrent resolution on the
budget for fiscal year 2016, or any successor thereto,
prohibiting voting on passage of a matter that requires an
estimate under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 (2 U.S.C. 653), unless such estimate was made publicly
available on the website of the Congressional Budget Office
not later than 28 hours before the time the vote commences.
(c) Point of Order Against Eliminating of Point of Order.--
When the Senate is considering a bill, resolution, motion,
amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference
report, if a point of order is made by a Senator against a
provision that would repeal or otherwise eliminate the score
before voting requirement, 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.
(d) Form of the Point of Order.--A point of order under
subsection (c) 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)).
(e) 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 (c),
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.
(f) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--In the Senate, this
section may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chose and sworn. An
affirmative vote of three-fifths 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.
