Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2457) to prohibit health

    Resolved, That, immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, 
the Speaker shall, 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. 2457) to prohibit health 
insurance and employment discrimination against individuals and their 
family members on the basis of predictive genetic information or

chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Education and 
the Workforce, 30 minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and 
Means, and 30 minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Commerce. After general 
debate, the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. Each title shall be considered as read. During 
consideration of the bill for 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 8 in rule XVIII.
    Sec. 2. 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.
    Sec. 3. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the 
House shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under 
clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for 
further consideration of the bill.
