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

tinuing appropriations, the Congressional Budget Office is required 

by scorekeeping rules to annualize the score comparing it to the 

House-passed continuing resolution (H.R. 1) causing the bill to be 

scored at a higher level, thus the bill is presumed to breach the Appropriation Committee’s section 302 allocations. The Committee is 

not aware of any other points of order against consideration of the 

bill. 

Although the rule waives all points of order against provisions in 

the bill, the Committee is not aware of any points of order against 

provisions in the bill. The waiver of all points of order against the 

provisions in the bill is prophylactic in nature.
