H. Res. 436
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 14, 2005.
Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the
bill (H.R. 3132) to make improvements to the national sex offender registration
program, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be
dispensed with. All points of 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 the Judiciary. 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
the Judiciary now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of
a substitute shall be considered by title rather than by section. Each title
shall be considered as read. Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no
amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in
order except those printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated
for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for
the purpose of debate. Each amendment so printed may be offered only by the
Member who caused it to be printed or his designee and 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.
