Page 282 TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS § 908 scribed in section 632(d) of this title with re- spect to alternatives to the order envisioned by such report insofar as such order affects laws within the jurisdiction of the committee. (2) Initial Budget Committee action After the submission of such a report, the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may, not later than October 15, report to the Senate a resolution. The resolution may affirm the impact of the order envisioned by such report, in whole or in part. To the extent that any part is not affirmed, the resolution shall state which parts are not affirmed and shall contain instructions to committees of the Senate of the type referred to in section 641(a) of this title, sufficient to achieve at least the total level of deficit reduction contained in those sections which are not affirmed. (3) Response of committees Committees instructed pursuant to para- graph (2), or affected thereby, shall submit their responses to the Budget Committee no later than 10 days after the resolution referred to in paragraph (2) is agreed to, except that if only one such Committee is so instructed such Committee shall, by the same date, report to the Senate a reconciliation bill or reconcili- ation resolution containing its recommenda- tions in response to such instructions. A com- mittee shall be considered to have complied with all instructions to it pursuant to a reso- lution adopted under paragraph (2) if it has made recommendations with respect to mat- ters within its jurisdiction which would result in a reduction in the deficit at least equal to the total reduction directed by such instruc- tions. (4) Budget Committee action Upon receipt of the recommendations re- ceived in response to a resolution referred to in paragraph (2), the Budget Committee shall report to the Senate a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution, or both, carrying out all such recommendations without any substantive revisions. In the event that a com- mittee instructed in a resolution referred to in paragraph (2) fails to submit any recommenda- tion (or, when only one committee is in- structed, fails to report a reconciliation bill or resolution) in response to such instructions, the Budget Committee shall include in the reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported pursuant to this subparagraph legis- lative language within the jurisdiction of the noncomplying committee to achieve the amount of deficit reduction directed in such instructions. (5) Point of order It shall not be in order in the Senate to con- sider any reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported under paragraph (4) with respect to a fiscal year, any amendment there- to, or any conference report thereon if— (A) the enactment of such bill or resolu- tion as reported; (B) the adoption and enactment of such amendment; or (C) the enactment of such bill or resolu- tion in the form recommended in such con- ference report, would cause the amount of the deficit for such fiscal year to exceed the maximum deficit amount for such fiscal year, unless the low- growth report submitted under section 904 of this title projects negative real economic growth for such fiscal year, or for each of any two consecutive quarters during such fiscal year. (6) Treatment of certain amendments In the Senate, an amendment which adds to a resolution reported under paragraph (2) an instruction of the type referred to in such paragraph shall be in order during the consid- eration of such resolution if such amendment would be in order but for the fact that it would be held to be non-germane on the basis that the instruction constitutes new matter. (7) ‘‘Day’’ defined For purposes of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), the term ‘‘day’’ shall mean any calendar day on which the Senate is in session. (b) Procedures (1) In general Except as provided in paragraph (2), in the Senate the provisions of sections 636 and 641 of this title for the consideration of concurrent resolutions on the budget and conference re- ports thereon shall also apply to the consider- ation of resolutions, and reconciliation bills and reconciliation resolutions reported under this paragraph and conference reports thereon. (2) Limit on debate Debate in the Senate on any resolution re- ported pursuant to subsection (a)(2), and all amendments thereto and debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to 10 hours. (3) Limitation on amendments Section 641(d)(2) of this title shall apply to reconciliation bills and reconciliation resolu- tions reported under this subsection. (4) Bills and resolutions received from the House Any bill or resolution received in the Senate from the House, which is a companion to a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution of the Senate for the purposes of this sub- section, shall be considered in the Senate pur- suant to the provisions of this subsection. (5) ‘‘Resolution’’ defined For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘‘resolution’’ means a simple, joint, or concur- rent resolution. (Pub. L. 99–177, title II, § 258C, as added Pub.
