SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CUT
FUNDING FOR RESEARCH ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND
RELATED DEMENTIAS.

(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
reduce, rescind, reprogram, or otherwise cut funding for
Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, including research
conducted or funded by the National Institutes of Health,
where such reductions would delay the development of
treatment and cures, increase health care costs for families
and taxpayers, weaken support for caregivers, or undermine
the United States' global leadership in neurodegenerative
disease research and innovation.
(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).
