EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

1947 includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a committee’s 302(a) allocation for the first fiscal year or the total of fiscal years. 

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

1797 includes a waiver of clause 3(d) of rule XIII, which requires 

the inclusion of a committee cost estimate. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 1797, as amended, the Committee is not aware of any 

points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
