EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

includes a waiver of section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, 

which prohibits consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction 

of the Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported by 

the Budget Committee. 

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

as amended, includes a waiver of the following: 

• Clause 2 of rule XXI, which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an appropriations bill. The 

waiver applies to all provisions in the bill except beginning 

with the colon on page 251, line 5, through ‘‘2012’’ on page 251, 

line 8; and 

• Clause 5(a) of rule XXI, which provides that a bill or joint 

resolution carrying a tax or tariff measure may not be reported 

by a committee not having jurisdiction to report tax or tariff 

measure. 

The waiver of all points of order against the amendments printed 

in this report includes a waiver of clause 2(c) of rule XXI, which 

requires that limitation amendments are to be offered at the end 

of the bill. The waiver is necessary because the limitation amendments printed in this report will be offered at the end of each division. It should be noted that sponsors of such amendments complied with Rules Committee guidance when drafting amendments 

to the end of divisions rather than the end of the bill.
