Full title

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to apply the layover requirements for conference reports during the last six days of a session of Congress, to require that certain matter be included in joint explanatory statements accompanying conference reports, and for other purposes.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

Amends rule XXII of the Rules of the House of Representatives (relating to layover requirements for conference reports) to apply such requirements to conference reports during the last six days of a session of Congress, as well as to motions to dispose of Senate amendments reported in disagreement by a conference committee during such six-day period.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Jul 23, 2003
Amends rule XXII of the Rules of the House of Representatives (relating to layover requirements for conference reports) to apply such requirements to conference reports during the last six days of a session of Congress, as well as to motions to dispose of Senate amendments reported in disagreement by a conference committee during such six-day period.

Amends rule XIII (relating to privileged reports by the Committee on Rules) with respect to the prohibition against calling up a report by the Committee on a rule, joint rule, or the order of business on the same day it is presented to the House. Repeals the exception to such prohibition for a resolution proposing only to waive the requirement of rule XII concerning the availability of conference reports. (Thus applies such prohibition to such resolutions.)

Amends rule XXII to make it out of order to consider a conference report to accompany a bill or joint resolution making or continuing appropriations unless: (1) the joint explanatory statement of the managers includes a separate part that clearly sets forth each item of appropriation added by the committee of conference to fund a new program, project, or activity and the program, project, or activity to which it relates; or (2) the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations causes such matter to be printed in the Congressional Record before consideration of the conference report.
