                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2746) to amend title VI 
 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to give parents 
 with low-incomes the opportunity to choose the appropriate school for 
 their children and for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2616) to amend 
 titles VI and X of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 
                 to improve and expand charter schools.

    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in 
order without intervention of any point of order to consider in the 
House the bill (H.R. 2746) to amend title VI of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965 to give parents with low-incomes the 
opportunity to choose the appropriate school for their children. The 
bill shall be considered as read for amendment. The bill shall be 
debatable for two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Education and the 
Workforce. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
bill to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
recommit.
    Sec. 2. After disposition of the bill (H.R. 2746), the Speaker may, 
pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into 
the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 2616) to amend titles VI and X of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to improve and expand 
charter schools. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Education 
and the Workforce now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. Before 
consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to consider 
the amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative Goodling of 
Pennsylvania or his designee. That amendment shall be considered as 
read, shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, 
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in 
the House or in the Committee of the Whole. If that amendment is 
adopted, the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as 
amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose of 
further amendment. During consideration of the bill for further 
amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord 
priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an 
amendment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. The Chairman 
of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during 
further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a 
recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the 
minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed question that 
follows another electronic vote without intervening business, provided 
that the minimum time for electronic voting on the first in any series 
of questions shall be fifteen minutes. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and 
report the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been 
adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 
one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 3. (a) In the engrossment of H.R. 2616, the Clerk shall--
            (1) add the text of H.R. 2746, as passed by the House, as 
        new matter at the end of H.R. 2616;
            (2) conform the title of H.R. 2616 to reflect the addition 
        of the text of H.R. 2746 to the engrossment;
            (3) assign appropriate designations to provisions within 
        the engrossment; and
            (4) conform provisions for short titles within the 
        engrossment.
    (b) Upon the addition of the text of H.R. 2746 to the engrossment 
of H.R. 2616, H.R. 2746 shall be laid on the table.
    Sec. 4. House Resolution 280 is laid on the table.
