mentation bill included in such report shall be intro-
duced (by request)—

after the date of the introduction of such bill, such 
committee shall be immediately discharged from fur-
ther consideration of such bill, and upon being re-
ported or discharged from the committee, such bill 
shall be placed on the appropriate calendar. 
(b) FLOOR CONSIDERATION.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—When the committee to 
which an implementation bill is referred has re-
ported the bill, or has been discharged from further 
consideration of the bill under subsection (a)(3), it 
is at any time thereafter in order (even though a 
previous motion to the same effect has been dis-
agreed to) for any Member of the respective House 
to move to proceed to the consideration of the imple-
mentation bill, and all points of order against the 
implementation bill (and against consideration of the 
implementation bill) are waived. The motion is high-
ly privileged in the House of Representatives and is 
privileged in the Senate and is not debatable. The 
motion is not subject to amendment, or to a motion 
to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the consid-
eration of other business. A motion to reconsider the 
vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed 
to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to

the consideration of the implementation bill is 
agreed to, the implementation bill shall remain the 
unfinished business of the respective House until 
disposed of. 
(2) AMENDMENTS.—An implementation bill 
may not be amended in the Senate or the House of 
Representatives. 
(3) DEBATE.—Debate on the implementation 
bill, and on all debatable motions and appeals in 
connection therewith, shall be limited to not more 
than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally be-
tween those favoring and those opposing the bill. A 
motion further to limit debate is in order and not 
debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to post-
pone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of 
other business, or a motion to recommit the imple-
mentation bill is not in order. A motion to reconsider 
the vote by which the implementation bill is agreed 
to or disagreed to is not in order. 
(4) VOTE
ON
FINAL
PASSAGE.—Immediately 
following the conclusion of the debate on an imple-
mentation bill, and a single quorum call at the con-
clusion of the debate if requested in accordance with 
the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on final 
passage of the implementation bill shall occur.

of the other House shall not be referred to a com-
