                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2260) to amend the 
  Controlled Substances Act to promote pain management and palliative 
care without permitting assisted suicide and euthanasia, and for other 
                               purposes.

    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. 2260) to amend the 
Controlled Substances Act to promote pain management and palliative 
care without permitting assisted suicide and euthanasia, 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 
clause 4(a) of rule XIII are waived. General debate shall be confined 
to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided among and 
controlled by the chairmen and ranking minority members of the 
Committee on Commerce and the Committee on the Judiciary. 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 an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute consisting of the bill modified by the 
amendments recommended by the Committee on Commerce now printed in the 
bill. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
as read. No amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute 
shall be in order except those printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be offered 
only in the order printed in the report, 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, and shall not be subject 
to amendment. 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. 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.
