                    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

    '`(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 A signature may be withdrawn by a Member in writing at any time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.''
