Key Provisions

All points of order against considering H.R. 7608 are waived.
An amendment in the nature of a substitute (the Rules Committee print) is automatically adopted, and the bill as amended is considered read.
Debate on the bill is limited to one hour, split equally between the chair and the ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee.
Further amendments listed in the Rules Committee report may be offered only by designated members, are considered read, have a set debate time, cannot be amended further, and are not subject to a division of the question.
Amendments en bloc (grouped amendments) can be offered after the initial debate, are read, have 30 minutes of debate equally divided, and also cannot be amended or divided.
Points of order against those further and en‑bloc amendments are waived.
During amendment consideration, it is prohibited to propose an amendment that simultaneously decreases an appropriation under a specific budget control provision and increases another not under that provision (or vice versa).
