[To accompany H. Res. 530]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 530, 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 H.R. 2575, the
Save American Workers Act of 2014, under a closed rule. The
resolution provides three hours of debate equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Ways and Means. The resolution waives all points
of order against consideration of the bill. The resolution
provides that the amendment in the nature of a substitute
recommended by the Committee on Ways and Means now printed in
the bill 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
the bill includes waivers of the following:
Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the
consideration of a bill if it has the net effect of increasing
mandatory spending over the five-year or ten-year period.
Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act,
prohibiting consideration of legislation providing new budget
authority in excess of a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such
authority.
Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act,
prohibiting 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.
Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act,
prohibiting consideration of legislation that would cause the
level of total new budget authority for the first fiscal year
to be exceeded, or 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.
Section 604 of H. Con. Res. 25, prohibiting the
consideration of legislation reported by a committee (other
than the Committee on Appropriations) if the provisions of such
measure have the net effect of increasing direct spending in
excess of $5 billion for any of the four consecutive ten
fiscal-year periods beginning with fiscal year 2024.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
