SEC. 204. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.
(a) AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE.—If a provision of di-
rect spending or receipts legislation is enacted or if appro-
priations for discretionary accounts are enacted that the
President designates as an emergency requirement and that
the Congress so designates in statute, the amounts of new
budget authority, outlays, and receipts in all fiscal years
resulting from that provision shall be designated as an
emergency requirement for the purpose of this resolution.
(b) DESIGNATIONS.—
(1) GUIDANCE.—If a provision of legislation is
designated as an emergency requirement under sub-
section (a), the committee report and any statement
of managers accompanying that legislation shall ana-
lyze whether a proposed emergency requirement meets
all the criteria in paragraph (2).
(2) CRITERIA.—
†
HCON 95 EAS
(A) IN GENERAL.—The criteria to be con-
sidered in determining whether a proposed ex-
penditure or tax change is an emergency require-
ment are that the expenditure or tax change is—
(i) necessary, essential, or vital (not
merely useful or beneficial);
(ii) sudden, quickly coming into being,
and not building up over time;
(iii) an urgent, pressing, and compel-
ling need requiring immediate action;
(iv) subject to subparagraph (B), un-
foreseen, unpredictable, and unanticipated;
and
(v) not permanent, temporary in na-
ture.
(B) UNFORESEEN.—An emergency that is
part of an aggregate level of anticipated emer-
gencies, particularly when normally estimated in
advance, is not unforeseen.
(3) JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF DESIGNATION.—
When an emergency designation is proposed in any
bill, joint resolution, or conference report thereon, the
committee report and the statement of managers ac-
companying a conference report, as the case may be,
†
HCON 95 EAS

sion meets the criteria set forth in paragraph (2).
(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section, the terms ‘‘direct
spending’’, ‘‘receipts’’, and ‘‘appropriations for discre-
tionary accounts’’ means any provision of a bill, joint reso-
lution, amendment, motion or conference report that affects
direct spending, receipts, or appropriations as those terms
have been defined and interpreted for purposes of the Bal-
anced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
(d) POINT OF ORDER.—When the Senate is consid-
ering a bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or conference
report, a point of order may be made by a Senator against
an emergency designation in that measure and if the Pre-
siding Officer sustains that point of order, that provision
making such a designation shall be stricken from the meas-
ure and may not be offered as an amendment from the floor.
(e) WAIVER
AND APPEAL.—This section 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 Sen-
ate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an
appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised
under this section.

islation that would increase the on-budget deficit or
cause an on-budget deficit for any one of the three ap-
plicable time periods as measured in paragraphs (5)

(2) APPLICABLE TIME PERIODS.—For purposes

cently adopted concurrent resolution on the
budget.

resolution on the budget.

lowing the first 5 fiscal years covered in the most

(3) DIRECT-SPENDING LEGISLATION.—For pur-
poses of this subsection and except as provided in
paragraph (4), the term ‘‘direct-spending legislation’’
means any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion,
or conference report that affects direct spending as

HCON 95 EAS
posit insurance guarantee commitment in effect

spending assumed by section 104 of this resolu-
tion; and

subsections (b) through (d) of section 257 of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control
Act of 1985 for fiscal years beyond those covered
by that concurrent resolution on the budget.
(6) PRIOR SURPLUS.—If direct spending or rev-
enue legislation increases the on-budget deficit or
causes an on-budget deficit when taken individually,
it must also increase the on-budget deficit or cause an
on-budget deficit when taken together with all direct
spending and revenue legislation enacted since the be-
ginning of the calendar year not accounted for in the
baseline under paragraph (5)(A), except that direct
†
HCON 95 EAS

duction enacted pursuant to reconciliation instruc-
tions since the beginning of that same calendar year

(b) WAIVER.—This section may be waived or sus-
pended in the Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-
fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
(c) APPEALS.—Appeals in the Senate from the deci-
sions of the Chair relating to any provision of this section

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 this
section.
