The Rule allows one motion to recommit, with or without instructions, and waives all points of order against the legislation. The Rules Committee rejected a motion by Mr. McGovern of Massachusetts to make in order and provide the appropriate waivers to amendment #1 to H.R. 5645, offered by Rep. DeLauro of Connecticut, which adds a title to H.R. 5645 to include the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Torres, which adds a new section to prohibit excessive fees on ankle monitoring bracelets associated with bail bonds. Members are urged to VOTE NO. S.J.Res. 57 – Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Indirect Auto Lending and Compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act" (Sen. Moran – Financial Services) (One hour of debate). This resolution disapproves of the 2013 guidance issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regarding indirect auto financing. Indirect auto lending is financing that an auto deal facilitates from a third party such as a depository institution, a nonbank affiliate of a depository institution, an independent nonbank, or a “captive” nonbank (an auto lender whose primary business is to finance the purchase of a specific manufacturer’s automobiles). The CFPB’s 2013 guidance lays out steps indirect auto lenders should take to ensure that they are operating in compliance with the fair credits laws as applied to dealer markup and compensation policies. The CFPB’s guidance is intended to curb discrimination against consumers in indirect auto lending on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, and age, which the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits, primarily by identifying practices and procedures indirect auto lenders and dealers can adopt to comply with the ECOA. Under the terms of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) process, S.J.Res. 57, if adopted and signed by President Trump, will not only nullify, in one brief, partisan debate, this rule that helps protect working Americans but it will prevent CFPB from considering a “substantially similar” rule in the future. The Senate passed S.J.Res. 57 in April. Suspensions (7 bills)
The GOP Leadership has announced the following schedule for Wednesday, May 9: The House will meet at 12:00 p.m. for legislative business. The House is expected to begin consideration of H.R. 3053 – Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2018 (Rep. Shimkus – Energy and Commerce) (Subject to a Rule). The House is expected to complete consideration of H.R. 5645 – Standard Merger and Acquisition Reviews Through Equal Rules Act of 2018 (Rep. Handel – Judiciary) and H.R. 2152 – Citizens' Right to Know Act of 2017 (Rep. Poe – Judiciary). | ||

| “House Republicans return to Washington this week facing an intraparty fight over a sweeping agricultural and food-stamp bill... House GOP leaders will begin this week corralling support for the next five-year farm bill, a task complicated by opposition from conservative Republicans and Democrats… GOP House leaders have had trouble selling a bill simultaneously generous enough for struggling farmers and conservative enough for fiscal hawks.” - Wall Street Journal, 5/6/2018 |
