[To accompany H. Res. 415] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 415, by a record vote of 8 to 4, report the same to the 

House with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. 

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 6, the American 

Dream and Promise Act of 2019, under a closed rule. The resolution provides two hours of general debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. The resolution waives all points of order 

against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that an 

amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of 

Rules Committee Print 116–16, modified by the amendment printed in this report, shall be considered as adopted and the bill, as 

amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 

points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended. The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill 

includes waivers of the following: 

• Section 103(i) of H. Res. 6, which prohibits consideration 

of an unreported bill pursuant to a rule. However, Rules Committee Print 116–16 is comprised of the text of H.R. 2820 and 

H.R. 2821 as reported by the Committee on the Judiciary. 

• Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such authority.

• Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation that would cause the level of 

total new budget authority for the first fiscal year to be exceeded, or would cause revenues to be less than the level of total 

revenues for the first fiscal year or for the total of that first 

fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years for which allocations 

are provided, except when a declaration of war by the Congress 

is in effect. • Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 

measure that has a net effect of increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus over the five- or 10-year period. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware of any 

points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
