and provides that it shall be considered as read.

order against the amendments printed in part B of this report.
The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or without

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes waivers of the following:
Clause 3(d) of rule XIII, which requires the
inclusion of a committee cost estimate in a committee
report.
Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits
consideration of a measure that has a net effect of
increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus over the
five- or 10-year period.
Clause 12(b) of rule XXI, which prohibits
consideration of a bill unless there is a searchable
electronic comparative print that shows how the text of
the bill as proposed to be considered differs from the
text of the bill as reported.
Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act,
which prohibits consideration of legislation, as
reported, providing new budget authority, change in
revenues, change in public debt, new entitlement
authority or new credit authority for a fiscal year
until the budget resolution for that year has been
agreed to.
The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text, as
amended, includes waivers of the following:
Clause 5(a) of rule XXI, which prohibits a
bill or joint resolution carrying a tax or tariff
measure from being reported by a committee not having
jurisdiction to report tax or tariff measures.
Clause 12(a)(2) of rule XXI, which prohibits

in nature.
