This section is classified to the U.S. Code at 2 U.S.C. 635.

Reconciliation

The Senate Parliamentarian has advised that section 310 (CBA) is limited to only changing revenue, outlays and the public debt, with a maximum number of bills of one for each. By revising the budget resolution under this section, the common belief is that the reconciliation instructions are therefore renewed and additional bills for each area could be moved, though it has never been attempted. 

Revising Budget Resolutions

This section was used in the adoption of S. Con. Res. 10 (95th Congress), the “Third Budget Resolution” for fiscal year 1977. The resolving clause of that measure is as follows:
