“The budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be entered on either PAYGO scorecard maintained pursuant to section 4(d) of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.”
Subsection (a) keeps the budgetary effects of divisions B and C off both scorecards kept under section 4(d) of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.
What the document actually says
“The budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be entered on either PAYGO scorecard maintained pursuant to section 4(d) of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.”
That sentence, in plain words
The cost of divisions B and C is not put on either card.
What this is about
A scorecard is a running tally of costs. When it gets too high, cuts follow. This keeps these costs off the tally.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
“(b) Senate PAYGO Scorecards.--The budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be entered on any PAYGO scorecard maintained for purposes of section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress).”
Subsection (b) keeps the same effects off any scorecard kept for purposes of section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71 of the 115th Congress, which is the Senate's own version of the same tally.
What the document actually says
“(b) Senate PAYGO Scorecards.--The budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be entered on any PAYGO scorecard maintained for purposes of section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress).”
That sentence, in plain words
The cost of these two divisions is not put on the Senate card.
What this is about
The Senate keeps its own tally. The rule for it comes from a budget resolution. The same costs stay off that tally too.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
“the budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be estimated--”
Subsection (c) keeps the same effects from being estimated for three purposes: section 251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, an allocation to the Committee on Appropriations under section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and paragraph (4)(C) of section 3 of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, which treats an amount as included in an appropriation Act. It says this notwithstanding Rule 3 of the Budget Scorekeeping Guidelines and section 250(c)(8) of the 1985 Act.
What the document actually says
“the budgetary effects of divisions B and C shall not be estimated--”
That sentence, in plain words
The cost of divisions B and C is not counted for these three things.
What this is about
Cost figures feed into several sets of rules. Each one can force a cut or block a bill. This keeps these costs out of all three.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
All three subsections, each naming a set of books the cost is kept off.
Nothing in the section is left out. Division A is not named in any subsection, and this file does not guess why.
The section names the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, a House concurrent resolution, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. None of those is indexed here, so this file does not say how any of those scorekeeping rules works.
