                    CALENDAR OF MOTIONS TO DISCHARGE COMMITTEES

    ______________________________________________________________________________

    Rule XV, clause 2:

    ``(a)(1) A Member may present to the Clerk a motion in writing to discharge--

    ``(A) a committee from consideration of a public bill or public resolution
    that has been referred to it for 30 legislative days; or

    ``(A) a committee from consideration of a public bill or public resolution
    that has been referred to it for 30 legislative days; or

    '`(B) the Committee on Rules from consideration of a resolution that has been
    referred to it for seven legislative days and that proposes a special order of
    business for the consideration of a public bill or public resolution that has
    been reported by a committee or has been referred to a committee for 30
    legislative days.

    ``(2) Only one motion may be presented for a bill or resolution. A Member may
    not file a motion to discharge the Committee on Rules from consideration of a
    resolution providing for the consideration of more than one public bill or
    public resolution or admitting or effecting a nongermane amendment to a public
    bill or public resolution.

    ``(b) A motion presented under paragraph (a) shall be placed in the custody of
    the Clerk, who shall arrange a convenient place for the signatures of Members.
    A signature may be withdrawn by a Member in writing at any time before a motion
    is entered on the Journal. The Clerk shall make the signatories a matter of public
    record, causing the names of the Members who have signed a discharge motion during
    a week to be published in a portion of the Congressional Record designated for
    that purpose on the last legislative day of the week and making cumulative lists
    of such names available each day for public inspection in an appropriate office
    of the House. The Clerk shall devise a means for making such lists available to
    offices of the House and to the public in electronic form. When a majority of the
    total membership of the House shall have signed the motion, it shall be entered
    on the Journal, published with the signatories thereto in the Record, and referred
    to the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees.

    ``(c)(1) A motion to discharge that has been on the calendar for at least seven
    legislative days (except during the last six days of a session of Congress) shall
    be privileged only at a time or place, designated by the Speaker, in the legislative
    schedule within two legislative days after the day on which a Member whose signature
    appears thereon announces to the House an intention to offer the motion. When such a
    motion is called up, the House shall proceed to its consideration under this paragraph
    without intervening motion except one motion to adjourn. Privileged motions to
    discharge shall have precedence in the order of their entry on the Journal.

    ``(2) When a motion to discharge is called up, the bill or resolution to which it
    relates shall be read by title only. The motion is debatable for 20 minutes, one-half
    in favor of the motion and one-half in opposition thereto.

    ``(d)(1) If a motion prevails to discharge the Committee on Rules from consideration
    of a resolution, the House shall immediately consider the resolution, pending which
    the Speaker may entertain one motion that the House adjourn but may not entertain any
    other dilatory motion until the resolution has been disposed of. If the resolution is
    adopted, the House shall immediately proceed to its execution.

    ``(2) If a motion prevails to discharge a committee from consideration of a public bill
    or public resolution, a motion that the House proceed to the immediate consideration of
    such bill or resolution shall be privileged if offered by a Member whose signature
    appeared on the motion to discharge. The motion to proceed is not debatable. If the motion
    to proceed is adopted, the bill or resolution shall be considered immediately under the
    general rules of the House. If unfinished before adjournment of the day on which it is
    called up, the bill or resolution shall remain the unfinished business until it is disposed
    of. If the motion to proceed is rejected, the bill or resolution shall be referred to the
    appropriate calendar, where it shall have the same status as if the committee from which
    it was discharged had duly reported it to the House.

    ``(e)(1) When a motion to discharge originated under this clause has once been acted on
    by the House, it shall not be in order to entertain during the same session of Congress--

    ``(A) a motion to discharge a committee from consideration of that bill or resolution or
    of any other bill or resolution that, by relating in substance to or dealing with the same
    subject matter, is substantially the same; or

    ``(B) a motion to discharge the Committee on Rules from consideration of a resolution
    providing a special order of business for the consideration of that bill or resolution or
    of any other bill or resolution that, by relating in substance to or dealing with the same
    subject matter, is substantially the same.

    ``(2) A motion to discharge on the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees that is
    rendered out of order under subparagraph (1) shall be stricken from that calendar.''
