waives all points of order against the conference report and against 
its consideration. The rule provides that the conference report 
shall be considered as read. The rule provides that the previous 
question shall be considered as ordered without intervention of any 
motion except one hour of debate and one motion to recommit if 
applicable. The rule provides that clause 5(b) of rule XXI shall not 
apply to the conference report. The rule provides that debate on the 
conference report is divided pursuant to clause 8(d) of rule XXII. 
In section 2, the rule provides for consideration of H.R. 3312 under 
a closed rule. The rule provides one hour of debate equally divided 
and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Financial Services. The rule waives all points of order 
against consideration of the bill. The rule provides that an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of 
Rules Committee Print 115-49, modified by the amendment printed in 
the Rules Committee report, shall be considered as adopted and the 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The rule waives all 
points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended. The rule 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. In 
section 3, the rule waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a 
two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day it is reported 
from the Rules Committee) against any resolution reported for the 
remainder of the first session of the 115th Congress. In section 4, 
the rule provides that it shall be in order at any time through 
remainder of the first session of the 115th Congress, for the 
Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend the rules and 
that the Speaker or his designee shall consult with the Minority 
Leader or her designee on the designation of any matter for
