resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the

considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order
against provisions in the bill, as amended. The resolution
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes a waiver of the following:
Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, which
prohibits consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction
of the Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported
by the Budget Committee; and
Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, which
prohibits consideration of legislation that would cause
revenues to be less than the level of total revenues for the
first fiscal year or for the total of that first fiscal year

Although the resolution waives all points of order against
