SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 3183, the
Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2010, 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 except those arising
under clauses 9 or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution provides that
the bill shall be considered as read through page 63, line 12.
The resolution waives points of order against provisions in the
bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI.
The resolution makes in order (1) the amendments printed in
part A of this report; (2) not to exceed one of the amendments
printed in part B of this report if offered by Representative
Campbell of California or his designee; (3) not to exceed six
of the amendments printed in part C of this report if offered
by Representative Flake of Arizona or his designee; and (4) not
to exceed three of the amendments printed in part D of this
report if offered by Representative Hensarling of Texas or his
designee. The resolution provides that each such amendment 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 10 minutes equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question
in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of
order against such amendments are waived except those arising
under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI.
The resolution provides that for those amendments reported
from the Committee of the Whole, the question of their adoption
shall be put to the House en gros and without demand for
division of the question. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
The resolution provides that after disposition of the
amendments specified in the first section of the resolution,
the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Appropriations or their designees each may offer one pro forma
amendment to the bill for the purpose of debate, which shall be
controlled by the proponent. The resolution provides that the
Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if
offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or his
designee and that the Chair may not entertain a motion to
strike out the enacting words of the bill (as described in
clause 9 of rule XVIII). The resolution provides that during
consideration of the bill, the Chair may reduce to two minutes
the minimum time for electronic voting. Finally, the resolution
lays House Resolution 618 on the table.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against the consideration
of the bill (except those arising under clauses 9 or 10 of rule
XXI), includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional
Budget Act regarding consideration of legislation providing new
budget authority in excess of a subcommittee's 302(b)
allocation of such authority, and a waiver of clause 4(c) of
rule XIII (requiring a three-day layover of printed committee
hearings).
The rule waives clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting
unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an
appropriations bill) because the bill contains unauthorized
appropriations and legislative provisions.
