resolution waives all points of order against consideration of each 

bill. The resolution provides that each bill shall be considered as 

read. The resolution waives all points of order against provisions 

in each bill. The resolution provides each bill one motion to recommit. 

The resolution waives the requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII 

for a two-thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on 

Rules on the same day it is presented to the House with respect 

to any resolution reported through the legislative day of January

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of H.R. 

264, H.R. 265, H.R. 266, and H.R. 267 includes waivers of the following for each bill: 

• Clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a 

bill or joint resolution which has not been reported by a committee until such measure has been available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner for 72 hours. While the 

text of each bill was made publicly available in searchable form 

at 9:00 am on January 6, 2019, the waiver of clause 11 of rule 

XXI is necessary because the bills could not be formally introduced until the House convened for business on January 8, 

2019. 

• Clause 12(a)(1) of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration 

of a bill unless there is a searchable electronic comparative 

print that shows how the bill proposes to change current law. 

The waiver of all points of order against consideration additionally includes a waiver of the following for both H.R. 264 and H.R. 

266: 

• Section 302(f)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act, which 

prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a 302(b) allocation of such authority. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 264, H.R. 265, H.R. 266, and H.R. 267, the Committee 

is not aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in 

nature.
