SA 3815. Mr. LEE (for himself and Mr. Toomey) proposed an amendment
to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; as follows:

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

SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
CAUSE A NET INCREASE IN OUTLAYS UNLESS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
CERTIFIES THAT INFLATION IS BELOW 3 PERCENT.

(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 would
cause a net increase in outlays relative to the most recently
published Congressional Budget Office baseline unless the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office certifies (based
on the most recent data available to the Director) that
inflation, as measured in either the average of the
annualized changes in the 3 most recently published monthly
reports on the consumer price index for all-urban consumers
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department
of Labor, or the previous year's unadjusted annual change in
that index, is below 3 percent.
(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).
