SEC. 2. STRUCTURE OF LEGISLATION.

    (a) Appropriations Legislation.--
            (1) In general.--The Committee on Appropriations of either 
        the House or the Senate shall not report an appropriation 
        measure that fails to contain such level of detail on the 
        allocation of an item of appropriation proposed by that House 
        as is set forth in the committee report accompanying such bill.
            (2) Point of order.--If an appropriation measure is 
        reported to the House or Senate that fails to contain the level 
        of detail on the allocation of an item of appropriation as 
        required in paragraph (1), it shall not be in order in that 
        House to consider such measure. If a point of order under this 
        paragraph is sustained, the measure shall be recommitted to the 
        Committee on Appropriations of that House.
    (b) Authorization Legislation.--
            (1) In general.--A committee of either the House or the 
        Senate shall not report an authorization measure that contains 
        new direct spending or new targeted tax benefits unless such 
        measure presents each new direct spending or new targeted tax 
        benefit as a separate item and the accompanying committee 
        report for that measure shall contain such level of detail as 
        is necessary to clearly identify the allocation of new direct 
        spending or new targeted tax benefits.
            (2) Point of order.--If an authorization measure is 
        reported to the House or Senate that fails to comply with 
        paragraph (1), it shall not be in order in that House to 
        consider such measure. If a point of order under this paragraph 
        is sustained, the measure shall be recommitted to the committee 
        of jurisdiction of that House.
    (c) Conference Reports.--
            (1) Appropriations.--A committee of conference to which is 
        committed an appropriations measure shall not file a conference 
        report in either House that fails to contain the level of 
        detail on the allocation of an item of appropriation as is set 
        forth in the statement of managers accompanying that report.
            (2) Authorizations.--A committee of conference to which is 
        committed an authorization measure shall not file a conference 
        report in either House unless such measure presents each direct 
        spending or targeted tax benefit as a separate item and the 
        statement of managers accompanying that report clearly 
        identifies each such item.
            (3) Point of order.--If a conference report is presented to 
        the House or Senate that fails to comply with either paragraph 
        (1) or (2), it shall not be in order in that House to consider 
        such conference report. If a point of order under this 
        paragraph is sustained in the House to first consider the 
        conference report, the measure shall be deemed recommitted to 
        the committee of conference.

SEC. 3. WAIVERS AND APPEALS.

    Any provision of section 2 may be waived or suspended in the House 
or Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of 
that House duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative vote of three-fifths 
of the Members duly chosen and sworn shall be required to sustain an 
appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under that 
section.

SEC. 4. SEPARATE ENROLLMENT.

    (a) In General.--
            (1) Enrollment.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        law, when any appropriation or authorization measure first 
        passes both Houses of Congress in the same form, the Secretary 
        of the Senate (in the case of a measure originating in the 
        Senate) or the Clerk of the House of Representatives (in the 
        case of a measure originating in the House of Representatives) 
        shall disaggregate the items as referenced in section 5(4) and 
        assign each item a new bill number. After disaggregation each 
        item shall be treated as a separate bill to be considered under 
        the following subsections. The remainder of the bill not so 
        disaggregated shall constitute a separate bill and shall be 
considered with the other disaggregated bills pursuant to subsection 
(b).
            (2) Form.--A bill that is required to be disaggregated into 
        separate bills pursuant to paragraph (1)--
                    (A) shall be disaggregated without substantive 
                revision; and
                    (B) shall bear the designation of the measure of 
                which it was an item prior to such disaggregation, 
                together with such other designation as may be 
                necessary to distinguish such measure from other 
                measures disaggregated pursuant to paragraph (1) with 
                respect to the same measure.
    (b) Procedure.--The new bills resulting from the disaggregation 
described in subsection (a)(1) shall be immediately placed on the 
appropriate calendar in the House of origination, and upon passage, 
placed on the appropriate calendar in the other House. They shall be 
the next order of business in each House and they shall be considered 
and voted on en bloc and shall not be subject to amendment. A motion to 
proceed to the bills shall be nondebatable. Debate in the House of 
Representatives or the Senate on the bill shall be limited to not more 
than 1 hour, which shall be divided equally between the majority leader 
and the minority leader. A motion further to limit debate is not 
debatable. A motion to recommit the bills is not in order, and it is 
not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the bills are 
agreed to or disagreed to.
