SEC. 7. CONGRESSIONAL CONSIDERATION OF REFORM
PROPOSALS.
(a) DEFINITIONS.—In this section—
(1) the term ‘‘implementation bill’’ means only
a bill which is introduced as provided under sub-
section (b), and contains the proposed legislation in-
cluded in the report submitted to Congress under
section 3, without modification; and
(2) the term ‘‘calendar day’’ means a calendar
day other than 1 on which either House is not in
session because of an adjournment of more than 3
days to a date certain.
(b) INTRODUCTION; REFERRAL; AND REPORT
OR
DISCHARGE.—
(1) INTRODUCTION.—On the first calendar day
on which both Houses are in session, on or imme-
diately following the date on which the report is sub-
mitted to Congress under section 3, a single imple-
mentation bill shall be introduced (by request)—
(A) in the Senate by the Majority Leader
of the Senate, for himself and the Minority
Leader of the Senate, or by Members of the
Senate designated by the Majority Leader and
Minority Leader of the Senate; and
(B) in the House of Representatives by the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, for
himself and the Minority Leader of the House
of Representatives, or by Members of the House
of Representatives designated by the Speaker
and Minority Leader of the House of Rep-
resentatives.
(2) REFERRAL.—The implementation bills in-
troduced under paragraph (1) shall be referred to
any appropriate committee of jurisdiction in the
Senate and any appropriate committee of jurisdic-
tion in the House of Representatives. A committee
to which an implementation bill is referred under
this paragraph may report such bill to the respective
House without amendment.
(3) REPORT OR DISCHARGE.—If a committee to
which an implementation bill is referred has not re-
ported such bill by the end of the 15th calendar day
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.
(c) FLOOR CONSIDERATION.—
(1) IN
GENERAL.—When the committee to
which an implementation bill is referred has re-
ported, or has been discharged under subsection
(b)(3), it is at any time thereafter in order (even
though a previous motion to the same effect has
been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective
House to move to proceed to the consideration of the
implementation bill, and all points of order against
the implementation bill (and against consideration of
the implementation bill) are waived. The motion is
highly 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
consideration of other business. A motion to recon-
sider 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 resolu-
tion. A motion further to limit debate is in order and
not debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to
postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consider-
ation of other business, or a motion to recommit the
implementation bill is not in order. A motion to re-
consider 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.
(5) RULINGS OF THE CHAIR ON PROCEDURE.—
Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to
the application of the rules of the Senate or the
House of Representatives, as the case may be, to the
procedure relating to an implementation bill shall be
decided without debate.
(d) COORDINATION
WITH
ACTION
BY
OTHER
HOUSE.—If, before the passage by 1 House of an imple-
mentation bill of that House, that House receives from
the other House an implementation bill, then the following
procedures shall apply:
(1) NONREFERRAL.—The implementation bill
of the other House shall not be referred to a com-
mittee.
(2) VOTE ON BILL OF OTHER HOUSE.—With
respect to an implementation bill of the House re-
ceiving the implementation bill—
(A) the procedure in that House shall be
the same as if no implementation bill had been
received from the other House; but
(B) the vote on final passage shall be on
the implementation bill of the other House.
(e) RULES OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.—This 
section 
is 
enacted 
by
Congress—
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of
the Senate and House of Representatives, respec-
tively, and as such it is deemed a part of the rules
of each House, respectively, but applicable only with
respect to the procedure to be followed in that
House in the case of an implementation bill de-
scribed in subsection (a), and it supersedes other
rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with
such rules; and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional
right of either House to change the rules (so far as
relating to the procedure of that House) at any time,
in the same manner, and to the same extent as in
the case of any other rule of that House.
