SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 5485, the
Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act,
2017, under a structured rule. The resolution provides one hour
of general debate equally divided and controlled by the chair
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
The resolution waives all points of order against consideration
of the bill. The resolution provides that the bill shall be
considered as read through page 265, line 9. The resolution
waives points of order against provisions in the bill for
failure to comply with clause 2 or clause 5(a) of rule XXI,
except beginning with ``: Provided further'' on page 122, line
19, through ``2012'' on page 122, line 22. The resolution
provides that where points of order are waived against part of
a paragraph, points of order against a provision in another
part of such paragraph may be made only against such provision
and not against the entire paragraph. The resolution makes in
order only those amendments printed in this report, amendments
en bloc described in section 3 of the resolution, and pro forma
amendments described in section 4 of the resolution. Each
amendment printed in this report may be offered only in the
order printed in this report, may be offered only by a Member
designated in this report, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for the time specified in this 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. The resolution waives all
points of order against the amendments printed in this report
or against amendments en bloc described in section 3 of the
resolution. The resolution provides that it shall be in order
at any time for the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or
his designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of
amendments printed in this report not earlier disposed of.
Amendments en bloc shall be considered as read, shall be
debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and controlled by the
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Appropriations or their designees, shall not be subject to
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of
the question. The resolution provides that the chair and
ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or
their respective designees may offer up to 10 pro forma
amendments each at any point for the purpose of debate. The
resolution provides one motion to recommit with or without

account for purposes of section 3(d) of House Resolution 5.
Section 7 of the resolution provides that during
consideration of H.R. 5485, section 3304 of Senate Concurrent
Resolution 11 shall not apply.
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
Clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII (``Ramseyer''),
requiring a committee report accompanying a bill
amending or repealing statutes to show, by
typographical device, parts of statute affected. The
waiver is provided because the submission provided by
the Committee on Appropriations was insufficient to
meet the standards established by the rule in its
current form. The Committee on Rules continues to work
with the House Office of Legislative Counsel and
committees to determine the steps necessary to comply
with the updated rule.
The resolution includes a waiver of points of order against
provisions for failure to comply with the following:
Clause 2 of rule XXI, which prohibits
unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions
in an appropriations bill. The waiver applies to all
provisions in the bill except beginning with ``:
Provided further'' on page 122, line 19, through
``2012'' on page 122, line 22; and
Clause 5(a) of rule XXI, which provides that
a bill or joint resolution carrying a tax or tariff
measure may not be reported by a committee not having
jurisdiction to report tax or tariff measure.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
the amendments printed in this report or amendments en bloc
described in section 3 of the resolution, the Committee is not
aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in
nature.
