    Resolved, That at any time after 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

bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In 
lieu of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform now printed in the bill, 
it shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature of a

in the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. All points of order against such amendments are 
waived. 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 Committee of the 
Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. 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.
    Sec. 2.  It shall be in order at any time through the legislative 
day of April 29, 2017, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the

designee on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to 
this section.
    Sec. 3.  The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-
thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the
