    Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3534) to improve 
congressional deliberation on proposed Federal private sector mandates, 
                        and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
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. 3534) to improve 
congressional deliberation on proposed Federal private sector mandates, 
and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of the bill for 
failure to comply with section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall 
not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
The amendment recommended by the Committee on Rules now printed in the 
bill shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee 
of the Whole. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original 
bill for the purpose of further amendment. The bill shall be considered 
as read. 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 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to 
the House with such further amendments as may have been adopted. 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.
