[To accompany H. Res. 295] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 295, by a record vote of 9 to 4, 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. 2642, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, under 

a closed rule. The resolution provides one hour of debate equally 

divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member 

of the Committee on Agriculture. The resolution waives all points 

of order against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides 

that the bill shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 

points of order against provisions in the bill. The resolution provides one motion to recommit. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

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. The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill may include a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a bill or joint resolution which has not 

been reported by a committee until the third calendar day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays except when the House 

is in session on such a day) on which such measure has been available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner. If the 

bill is considered before July 12, 2013, then the waiver of clause 

11 of rule XXI would be applicable.

Although the rule waives all points of order against provisions in 

the bill, the Committee is not aware of any points of order. The 

waiver is prophylactic in nature.
