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

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of H.R. 8 

includes a waiver of the following: • Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII, which requires the inclusion of 

a committee cost estimate; • Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits the consideration of 

a bill if it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending 

over the five-year or ten-year period; • Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a 302(a) allocation of such authority; and • Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation, providing a change in revenues for a fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year 

has been agreed to. 

The waiver of all points of order against provisions in H.R. 8, as 

amended, includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XXI, which prohibits 

reporting a bill or joint resolution carrying an appropriation from 

a committee not having jurisdiction to report an appropriation. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against the 

amendments printed in part A of this report, the Committee is not 

aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

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

5895 includes waivers of the following:

Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported by the 

Budget Committee; and

The waiver of all points of order against provisions in H.R. 5895, 

as amended, includes a waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI, which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an 

appropriations bill. This waiver is necessary because the bill, as 

amended, contains unauthorized appropriations and legislative provisions. 

The waiver of all points of order against the amendments printed 

in part B of this report includes a waiver of clause 2(c) of rule XXI, 

which requires that limitation amendments are to be offered at the 

end of the bill. The waiver is necessary because the limitation 

amendments printed in this report will be offered at the end of 

each division. It should be noted that sponsors of such amendments 

complied with Rules Committee guidance when drafting amendments to the end of divisions rather than the end of the bill.
