R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 483] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 483, by a record vote of 9 to 2, 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. 3762, the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015, 

under a closed rule. The resolution provides two hours of debate 

equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority 

member of the Committee on the Budget or their respective designees. The resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that 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. 

Section 2 of the resolution waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day it is reported from the Rules Committee) against any resolution reported 

from the Rules Committee through the legislative day of October 

23, 2015.

the Minority Leader or her designee on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this section. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII (‘‘Ramseyer’’), requiring a committee report accompanying a bill amending or repealing 

statutes to show, by typographical device, parts of statute affected. 

The waiver is provided because the submission provided by the 

Committee on the Budget was insufficient to meet the standards 

established by the rule in its current form. The Committee on 

Rules continues to work with the House Office of Legislative Counsel and committees to determine the steps necessary to comply 

with the updated rule. 

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

as amended, includes a waiver of the following: 

• 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; 

• Clause 5(a) of rule XXI, which prohibits a bill or joint resolution carrying a tax or tariff measure from being reported by 

a committee not having jurisdiction to report tax or tariff 

measures. 

COMMITTEE VOTES

The results of each record vote on an amendment or motion to 

report, together with the names of those voting for and against, are 

printed below: 

Rules Committee record vote No. 115 

Motion by Ms. Slaughter to make in order and provide the appropriate waivers for amendment #1, offered by Rep. Van Hollen 

(MD), which calls for bipartisan, bicameral negotiations to raise the 

Budget Control Act’s discretionary spending caps and establish appropriate offsets to allow appropriations action to proceed and to 

avoid a government shutdown. If the negotiations do not lead to a 

deal enacted by November 16, the caps for 2016 are automatically 

raised to the level in the President’s budget, eliminating the sequester for non-defense discretionary programs and providing the 

same amount of sequester relief for defense programs. Defeated: 2–
