bill (H.R. 1304) to ensure and foster continued patient safety and quality of

care professionals and health plans and health insurance issuers in the same
manner as such laws apply to collective bargaining by labor organizations under
the National Labor Relations Act. 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 as read. All points of order against the
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment to
the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except
those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this
resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the
report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order
against the amendments printed in the report are waived. The Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during further
consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any
amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum time for electronic voting
on any postponed question that follows another electronic vote without
intervening business, provided that the minimum time for electronic voting on
the first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes. 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.
