[To accompany H. Res. 1092]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 1092, by a record vote of 7 to 4, 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 H.R. 8015, the
Delivering for America Act, under a closed rule. The resolution
provides two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by
the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Oversight and Reform. The resolution waives all points of order
against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the
text of Rules Committee Print 116-61, modified by the amendment
printed in this Report, shall be considered as adopted and the
bill, as amended, shall be 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
H.R. 8015 includes waivers of the following:
Section 103(i) of H. Res. 6, which prohibits
consideration of an unreported bill pursuant to a rule.
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 Committee on the Budget.
Although the rule waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 8015, as amended, the Committee is not aware
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
