EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the motion, includes the following: Clause 7 of rule XVI, requiring that no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment. Provisions contained in Rules Committee Print 113-32 are not germane to the underlying measure. Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a bill if it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending over the five- or ten-year period. The waiver is necessary because of the cost associated with provisions addressing medically retired military personnel and survivor benefit plan recipients. Section 302(c) of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of an appropriation measure until that committee has made its sub-allocation under section 302(b). Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee.
