order against consideration of the bill are waived. General debate shall be
confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Financial Services. After general debate the bill shall be considered for
amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an
original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on
Financial Services now printed in the bill. Each section of the committee
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. During
consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member
offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII.
Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. At the conclusion of
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the
bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of
the Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a
substitute. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and
amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion
to recommit with or without instructions.
Attest:
Clerk.
