Mr. Byrne, from the Committee on Rules,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 809]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 809, by a record vote of 8 to 3, report the
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution
be adopted.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of the conference
report to accompany S. 524, the Comprehensive Addiction and
Recovery Act of 2016. The resolution waives all points of order
against the conference report and against its consideration.
The resolution provides that the conference report shall be
considered as read. The resolution provides that the previous
question shall be considered as ordered without intervention of
any motion except one hour of debate and one motion to recommit
if applicable. Debate on the conference report is divided
pursuant to clause 8(d) of rule XXII.
Section 2 of the resolution provides that the House has
taken S. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017, from the Speaker's table, adopts an amendment
in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R.
4909 as passed by the House, and adopts S. 2943, as amended.
The resolution provides that the chair of the Committee on
Armed Services or his designee is authorized to move that the
House insist on its amendment to S. 2943 and request a
conference with the Senate thereon.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against the conference
report to accompany S. 524 and its consideration includes a
waiver of the following:
Clause 9 of rule XXII, which prohibits the
inclusion of matter in a conference report not
committed to the conference by either House;
Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits the
consideration of a bill if it has the net effect of
increasing mandatory spending over the five-year or
ten-year period. Based on the preliminary estimate
provided by the Congressional Budget Office the
conference report violates the rule over the five-year
period and reduces direct spending by $72 million over
the ten-year period; and
Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974, prohibiting 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 and the ensuing fiscal years for
which allocations are provided. The violation is based
on a preliminary estimate provided by the Congressional
Budget Office.
