    The resolution 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 certain resolutions 
reported from the Rules Committee. The resolution applies the 
waiver to any resolution reported from the Rules Committee 
through the legislative day of July 3, 2010, providing for 
consideration or disposition of any of the following: (1) A 
conference report to accompany the bill (H.R. 4173) to provide 
for financial regulatory reform, to protect consumers and 
investors, to enhance Federal understanding of insurance 
issues, to regulate the over-the-counter derivatives markets, 
and for other purposes. (2) A measure that includes a subject 
matter addressed by H.R. 4213 or any amendment pertaining 
thereto.
    The resolution authorizes the Speaker to entertain motions 
that the House suspend the rules at any time through the 
legislative day of July 3, 2010. The Speaker or her designee 
shall consult with the Minority Leader or his designee on the 
designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this 
resolution. Finally, the resolution provides that it shall be 
in order without intervention of any point of order to consider 
concurrent resolutions providing for adjournment during the 
month of July.
