SA 200. Mr. SCOTT, of South Carolina submitted an amendment intended
to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5,
setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government
for fiscal year 2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels
for fiscal years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the
table; as follows:

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

SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST DISREGARDING SCIENCE AND
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
GUIDANCE BY FAILING TO REOPEN ELEMENTARY AND
SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING.

(a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate
to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment,
amendment between the Houses, or conference report that
allocates funding for COVID-19 related emergency relief for
elementary or secondary schools in a manner that fails to
provide for reopening elementary and secondary schools for
in-person learning and, in turn, ignores science and guidance
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that it
is safe to reopen such schools.
(b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or
suspended in the Senate 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 (a).
(c) Sunset.--This section shall cease to have force or
effect on December 31, 2022.
