House with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. 

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 1905, which 

provides the District of Columbia with voting representation in the 

House, and H.R. 1906, which amends the Internal Revenue Code 

to adjust the estimated tax payment safe harbor for individuals 

with adjusted gross income in the preceding year greater than $5 

million. With respect to H.R. 1905, the resolution provides for one 

hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the Chairman and 

Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on the Judiciary. The 

resolution waives all points of order against the bill and its consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 of rule XXI. 

The resolution provides one motion to recommit H.R. 1905 with or 

without instructions. 

With respect to H.R. 1906, the resolution provides for one hour 

of debate equally divided and controlled by the Chairman and 

Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on Ways and Means. 

The resolution waives all points of order against the bill and its 

consideration of the bill except those arising under clauses 9 or 10 

of rule XXI. The resolution provides one motion to recommit H.R. 

1906 with or without instructions.

The resolution further provides that, if either bill fails of passage 

or fails to reach the question of passage by an order of recommital, 

then both bills shall be laid upon the table. Otherwise, in the engrossment of H.R. 1905, the Clerk shall add the text ofH.R. 1906 

at the end and conform the resulting bill. H.R. 1906 and H.R. 1433 

shall be laid upon the table. Finally, notwithstanding the operation 

of the previous question, during consideration of either H.R. 1905 

or H.R. 1906, the Chair may postpone further consideration until 

a time designated by the Speaker. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waivers included in the resolution for H.R. 1905 includes a 

waiver of clause 10 of rule XXI (pertaining to increases in direct 

spending). With respect to H.R. 1906, the resolution waives all 

points of order against the bill and its consideration (except those 

arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI), but the Committee is not 

aware of any specific points of order. The waiver of all points of 

order against H.R. 1906 and against its consideration is prophylactic in nature.
