    Resolved, that at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 1501) to provide grants to ensure increased accountability for 
juvenile offenders. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
General debate shall be confined to the bill and the amendments made in order by 
this resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. 
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. The bill shall be considered as read. No amendment to the bill 
shall be in order except those printed in part A of the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution. Except as otherwise specified in this 
resolution, each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in part A of 
the report. Each amendment may be offered only by a Member designated in the 
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, 
shall not be subject to amendment except as specified in the report, and shall 
not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. All points of order against the amendments printed in 
the report are waived. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may recognize 
for consideration of any amendment printed in part A of the report out of the 
order printed, but not sooner than one hour after the chairman of the Committee 
on the Judiciary or a designee announces from the floor a request to that 
effect. 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 to the House with such 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.
