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 through the legislative day 
of July 23, 2010 relating to consideration or disposition of a 
measure addressing unemployment compensation. Finally, the 
resolution authorizes the Speaker to entertain motions that the 
House suspend the rules at any time through the legislative day 
of July 23, 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 section.
