                Ms. Foxx, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 42]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 42, by a record vote of 7 to 1, 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. 7, the No 
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full 
Disclosure Act of 2015, under a closed rule. The resolution 
provides one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by 
the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader or their respective 
designees. The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that the 
bill shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 
points of order against provisions in the bill. The resolution 
provides one motion to recommit.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of the following:
           Clause 9 of rule XXI, which requires a list 
        of all earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited 
        tariff benefits contained in the measure, or a 
        certification that the measure does not contain any of 
        those items. It is important to note that the 
        Committees on Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, and 
        the Judiciary intend to file the required earmark 
        statements tomorrow, prior to floor consideration of 
        the bill; and
           Clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the 
        consideration of a bill or joint resolution which has 
        not been reported by a committee until the third 
        calendar day on which such measure has been available 
        to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
