RESOLUTION
Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 140) to
end the practice of imposing unfunded Federal mandates
on State and local governments and to ensure that the
Federal Government pays the costs incurred by those
governments in complying with certain requirements
under Federal statutes and regulations.
Resolved, That, immediately upon the adoption of this

of the Whole House on the state of the Union for the con-
sideration of the bill (H.R. 140), to end the practice of
•HRES 489 IH
imposing unfunded Federal mandates on State and local
governments and to ensure that the Federal Government
pays the costs incurred by those governments in complying
with certain requirements under Federal statutes and reg-
ulations, and the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed
with. After general debate, which shall be confined to the
bill and which shall not exceed one hour, to be equally
divided and controlled by Representative Condit of Califor-
nia and a Member opposed thereto, the bill shall be consid-
ered as having been read for amendment under the five-
minute rule. No amendment to the bill shall be in order
except an amendment by and if offered by Representative
Condit of California or his designee, an amendment by and
if offered by Representative Clinger of Pennsylvania or his
designee, and an amendment in the nature of a subsitute
by and if offered by Representative Conyers of Michigan.
Each such amendment shall be debatable for not to exceed
one hour and be equally divided and controlled by the pro-
ponent and a Member opposed thereto, and all points of
order against the amendments are waived. No amendment
to any such amendment shall be in order, and no such
amendment shall be subject to a demand for a division
of the question in the House or in the Committee of the
Whole. If on any day the Committee of the Whole rises
and reports that it has come to no resolution of the bill,
•HRES 489 IH
then on the next legislative day the House shall, imme-
diately after approval of the Journal, resolve into the Com-
mittee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill.
At the conclusion of the 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 and any Member may demand a separate vote in
the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee
of the Whole to the bill. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the bill and amendment thereto
to final passage without intervening motion except one
motion to recommit.
