  Mr. Hastings of Florida, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 52]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 52, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 2, the 
``Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 
2009,'' under a closed rule. The resolution provides for one 
hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
and the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Ways and Means.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. The bill shall be considered as read. The 
resolution waives all points of order against the bill. This 
waiver does not affect the point of order available under 
clause 9 of rule XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). The 
resolution provides one motion to recommit the bill with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against the 
bill and its consideration (except for those arising under 
clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order against the bill or its consideration. The 
waivers of all points of order against the bill and its 
consideration (except for those arising under clause 9 or 10 of 
rule XXI) are prophylactic in nature.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES
