        legislation providing new budget authority in excess of 
        a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such authority.
           Clause 12(a)(1) of rule XXI, which prohibits 
        consideration of a bill unless there is a searchable 
        electronic comparative print that shows how the bill 
        proposes to change current law.
