SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 2575, the Save 

American Workers Act of 2014, under a closed rule. The resolution 

provides three hours of debate equally divided and controlled by 

the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways

in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on

or without instructions. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

• Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of legislation, as reported, providing new budget authority, change in revenues, change in public debt, new entitlement authority or new credit authority for a fiscal year until the budget 

resolution for that year has been agreed to. • Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting 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. • Section 604 of H. Con. Res. 25, prohibiting the consideration 

of legislation reported by a committee (other than the Committee 

on Appropriations) if the provisions of such measure have the net 

effect of increasing direct spending in excess of $5 billion for any 

of the four consecutive ten fiscal-year periods beginning with fiscal
