                                                        April 19, 2016.
    Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4890) to impose a ban on the payment of bonuses to employees of the 
Internal Revenue Service until the Secretary of the Treasury develops and 
implements a comprehensive customer service strategy. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the 
bill are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not 
exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Ways and Means. After general debate the bill shall 
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Ways and Means now 
printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature 
of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 114-49. That 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. Each such amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the 
report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order 
against such amendments are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the 
bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate 
vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the 
bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original 
text. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2.  Upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider 
in the House the bill (H.R. 3724) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to 
prohibit the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service from rehiring any 
employee of the Internal Revenue Service who was involuntarily separated from 
service for misconduct. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
are waived. In lieu of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended 
by the Committee on Ways and Means now printed in the bill, an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 114-48 
shall be considered as adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as 
read. All points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended, are 
waived. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as 
amended, and on any further amendment thereto, to final passage without 
intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled 
by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means; and 
(2) one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
