Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 350) to improve
congressional deliberation on proposed Federal private
sector mandates, and for other purposes.
Resolved, That at any time after the 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 consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 350) to improve congressional delib-
eration on proposed Federal private sector mandates, and
for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be
HRES 36 RH
dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of
the bill for failure to comply with clause 4(a) of rule XIII
or section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill
and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and con-
trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of
the Committee on Rules. After general debate the bill shall
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
It shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the
purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by
the Committee on Rules now printed in the bill. Each sec-
tion of the committee amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against
the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute
for failure to comply with section 306 of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 are waived. During consideration of
the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the
basis of whether the Member offering an amendment has
caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional
Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule
XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as
read. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may:
(1) postpone until a time during further consideration in
HRES 36 RH
the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote
on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the
minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed
question that follows another electronic vote without inter-
vening business, provided that the minimum time for elec-
tronic voting on the first in any series of questions shall
be 15 minutes. 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 Commit-
tee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee amend-
ment in the nature of a substitute. 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.
