In the House of Representatives, U. S.,
September 18, 2019.
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. 1423) to amend title 9 of the United States Code with respect to
arbitration. 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 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 116-32 modified by the amendment printed in
part A of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution.
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 part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. 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. The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-thirds vote
to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the same day it is presented
to the House is waived with respect to any resolution reported through the
legislative day of September 20, 2019, relating to a measure making or
continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.
Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of
September 19, 2019, or September 20, 2019, for the Speaker to entertain motions
that the House suspend the rules as though under clause 1 of rule XV. The
Speaker or her designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or his designee
on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this section.
Attest:
Clerk.
