                              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.
    Section 3 of the resolution provides that it shall be in 
order at any time on the legislative day of October 22, 2015, 
or October 23, 2015 for the Speaker to entertain motions that 
the House suspend the rules and that the Speaker or his 
designee shall consult with 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: 2-9

             SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENT CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

    Price, Tom (GA): Strikes the section repealing the 
Independent Payment Advisory Board. Clarifies that the 
prohibition on Federal funding to States for payments to 
prohibited entities applies both to payments made directly to a 
prohibited entity and payments made through a managed care 
organization and includes the standard exceptions covered by 
the Hyde amendment.

                TEXT OF AMENDMENT CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

  Page 4, line 24, insert before the period the following: ``, 
whether made directly to the prohibited entity or through a 
managed care organization under contract with the State''.
  Page 5, line 15, strike ``for elective abortions; and'' and 
insert the following:
                  for abortions, other than an abortion--
                          (i) if the pregnancy is the result of 
                        an act of rape or incest; or
                          (ii) in the case where a woman 
                        suffers from a physical disorder, 
                        physical injury, or physical illness 
                        that would, as certified by a 
                        physician, place the woman in danger of 
                        death unless an abortion is performed, 
                        including a life-endangering physical 
                        condition caused by or arising from the 
                        pregnancy itself; and
  Page 6, strike line 13.
  Page 9, strike lines 9 through 18.
