SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 36, the
Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, under a closed rule.
The resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the

provides that the bill shall be considered as read. The
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the
bill. The resolution provides one motion to recommit.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes a waiver of the following:
Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget
Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation
providing new budget authority in excess of a
committee's 302(a) allocation of such authority;
Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act,
which prohibits consideration of legislation providing
new budget authority for a fiscal year until the budget
resolution for that year has been agreed to; and
Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits
consideration of a bill if it has the net effect of
