EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 5053 includes a waiver of the following:
Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act,
prohibiting consideration of legislation, providing a
change in revenues for a fiscal year until the budget
resolution for that year has been agreed to; 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.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 5053, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 5293 includes a waiver of 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 Budget Committee.
