At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT USES THE
CURRENT POLICY BASELINE WHEN THE CURRENT LAW
BASELINE WOULD SHOW AN INCREASE IN THE DEFICIT.

(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 for which
any baseline other than the current law baseline under
section 257 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 907) is used in preparing a
projection of budget authority, outlays, revenues, deficit or
surplus, or debt for purposes of determining points of order
under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et
seq.) or any concurrent resolution on the budget, if a
projection using such current law baseline projects an
increase in the deficit.
(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).
