    [House Calendars for July 1, 2021 - 117th Congress, 1st Session]
    [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]

                                3. PRIVATE CALENDAR

    Rule XIII, clause 1(a):

    ``(3) A Private Calendar as provided in clause 5 of rule XV, to which shall be
    referred all private bills and private resolutions.''

    Rule XV, clause 5:

    ``5. (a) On the first Tuesday of a month, the Speaker shall direct the Clerk to
    call the bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar after disposal of such
    business on the Speaker's table as requires reference only. If two or more Members,
    Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner object to the consideration of a bill or
    resolution so called, it shall be recommitted to the committee that reported it.
    No other business shall be in order before completion of the call of the Private
    Calendar on this day unless two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being
    present, agree to a motion that the House dispense with the call.

    ``(b)(1) On any day, after the disposal of such business on the Speaker's table
    as requires reference only, the Speaker may direct the Clerk to call any bill or
    resolution that has been on the Private Calendar for at least seven days, but
    only on the second legislative day after the legislative day on which the Speaker
    or a designee announces to the House an intention to do so. Preference shall be
    given to omnibus bills containing the texts of bills or resolutions that have
    previously been objected to on a call of the Private Calendar. If two or more
    Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner object to the consideration of
    a bill or resolution so called (other than an omnibus bill), it shall be
    recommitted to the committee that reported it. Two-thirds of the Members voting,
    a quorum being present, may adopt a motion that the House dispense with the call
    on this day.

    '`(2) Omnibus bills shall be read for amendment by paragraph. No amendment shall
    be in order except to strike or to reduce amounts of money or to provide limitations.
    An item or matter stricken from an omnibus bill may not thereafter during the same
    session of Congress be included in an omnibus bill. Upon passage such an omnibus
    bill shall be resolved into the several bills and resolutions of which it is
    composed. The several bills and resolutions, with any amendments adopted by the
    House, shall be engrossed, when necessary, and otherwise considered as passed
    severally by the House as distinct bills and resolutions.

    ``(c) The Speaker may not entertain a reservation of the right to object to the
    consideration of a bill or resolution under this clause. A bill or resolution
    considered under this clause shall be considered in the House as in the Committee
    of the Whole. A motion to dispense with the call of the Private Calendar under
    this clause shall be privileged. Debate on such a motion shall be limited to
    five minutes in support and five minutes in opposition.''
