Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1927) to amend title 28, 
  United States Code, to improve fairness in class action litigation.

    Resolved, That at any time after 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. 1927) to amend title 28, 
United States Code, to improve fairness in class action litigation. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order 
against consideration of the bill are waived. General debate shall be 
confined to the bill and amendments specified in this resolution and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair 
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. In lieu of the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in 
the bill, 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 text of Rules Committee Print 
114-38. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. All points of order against that amendment in the 
nature of a substitute are waived. 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 
such 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, 
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. All points of order against such amendments are waived. 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. 2.  Further proceedings on any question on a motion relating 
to the disposition of the veto message and the bill, H.R. 3762, may be 
postponed through the legislative day of January 25, 2016, as though 
under clause 8 of rule XX.
