EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a committee's 302(a) allocation for the first fiscal year. The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill may include a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a bill or joint resolution which has not been reported by a committee until the third calendar day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays except when the House is in session on such a day) on which such measure has been available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner.
