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).
