Res. 901] The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House Resolution 901, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION The resolution provides for the consideration of the Senate amendment to H.R. 5325, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2017. The resolution makes in order a motion offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or his designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5325. The resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the motion. The resolution provides that the Senate amendment and the motion shall be considered as read. The resolution provides one hour of debate on the motion equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the motion includes a waiver of the following:Clause 7 of rule XVI, which requires that no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment. Section 3304 of S. Con. Res. 11, which prohibits consideration of a continuing appropriation that provides for advance appropriations; Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee; Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits 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; and Section 314 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits the consideration of legislation that provides budget authority for a fiscal year that exceeds either of the discretionary statutory spending limits. While the waiver of section 314 is necessary, it is important to note the bill does not exceed the aggregate total of spending authority. This is consistent with prior continuing resolutions. [all]
