section (b), and contains the proposed legislation
contained in the final report submitted to the Con-
gress under section 4(c) (2) or (4) without modifica-
tion; and
(2) the term ‘‘session day’’ means a day that
both the Senate and the House of Representatives
are in session.
(b) INTRODUCTION
AND REFERRAL.—(1) On the
first session day on or immediately following the date on
which a final report is submitted to the Congress under
section 4(c) (2) or (4), an implementation bill shall be in-
troduced—
(A) in the Senate by the Majority Leader of the
Senate, for himself, the Minority Leader of the Sen-
ate, 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 Ma-
jority Leader 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 Majority Leader
and Minority Leader of the House of Representa-
tives.
(2) The implementation bill introduced in the Senate
shall be referred concurrently to the Committee on Gov-
ernmental Affairs of the Senate, and other committees
with jurisdiction. The implementation bill introduced in
the House of Representatives shall be referred concur-
rently to the Committee on Government Operations of the
House of Representatives, and other committees with ju-
risdiction.
(c) DISCHARGE.—If the committee to which an im-
plementation bill is referred has not reported such bill by
the end of the 15 session day period beginning on the date
of introduction of such bill, such committee shall be, at
the end of such period, discharged from further consider-
ation of such bill, and such bill shall be placed on the ap-
propriate calendar of the House involved.
(d) CONSIDERATION.—(1) On or after the fifth ses-
sion day after the date on which the committee to which
such a bill is referred has reported, or has been discharged
(under subsection (c)) from further consideration of, such
a bill, it is 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 consider-
ation of the implementation bill (but only on the day after
the calendar day on which such Member announces to the
House concerned the Member’s intention to do so). 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 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 respective
House shall immediately proceed to consideration of the
implementation bill without intervening motion, order, or
other business, and the implementation bill shall remain
the unfinished business of the respective House until dis-
posed of.
(2) Debate on the implementation bill, and on all de-
batable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall
be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be di-
vided equally between the Majority Leader and the Minor-
ity Leader or their designees. An amendment to the imple-
mentation bill is not in order. A motion further to limit
debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to post-
pone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other
business, or a motion to recommit the implementation 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.
(3) Immediately following the conclusion of the de-
bate on an implementation bill and a single quorum call
at the conclusion 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.
(4) 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.
(e) CONSIDERATION BY OTHER HOUSE.—(1) If, be-
fore the passage by one House of an implementation bill
of that House described in subsection (a), that House re-
ceives from the other House an implementation bill de-
scribed in subsection (a), then the following procedures
shall apply:
(A) The implementation bill of the other House
shall not be referred to a committee and may not be
considered in the House receiving it except in the
case of final passage as provided in subparagraph
(B)(ii).
