                       [To accompany H. Res. 456]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 456, by a record vote of 7 to 6, 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. 3746, the 
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, under a closed rule. The 
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 
the bill. The resolution provides that the amendment printed in 
this report shall be considered as adopted. The resolution 
provides that 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 
hour of general debate equally divided and controlled by the 
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and 
Means or their respective designees. The resolution provides 
for one motion to recommit.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 3746 includes:
    --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.
    --Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act, which 
prohibits consideration of legislation providing a change in 
the public debt limit to become effective during a fiscal year 
until the budget resolution for that year has been agreed to.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 3746, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
