                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1033]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1033, by a record vote of 7 to 3, 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. 3807, the 
Relief for Restaurants and other Hard Hit Small Businesses Act 
of 2022, under a closed rule. The resolution provides one hour 
of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Small Business or 
their designees. The resolution waives all points of order 
against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
text of Rules Committee Print 117-39, modified by the amendment 
printed in this report, shall be considered as adopted and the 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution 
waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, as 
amended. 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 clause 12 of rule XXI, which 
prohibits consideration of a bill pursuant to a special order 
of business reported by the Committee on Rules that has not 
been reported by a committee.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
