HOUSE FLOOR WRAP-UP FOR JUNE 22, 2011

Considered and Passed:

H.R. 2021 - Jobs and Energy Permitting Act of 2011 (Rep. Gardner - Energy and Commerce) (253 - 166)

- Amendments – Not Adopted (10):

· Rep. Keating Amendment
· Rep. Rush Amendment
· Rep. Quigley Amendment
· Rep. Eshoo Amendment

- Motion to Recommit Amendment – Not Adopted:

· Offered by Rep. Keating (177 – 245)

Ordering the Previous Question to deny the Polis Amendment on H.Res. 316, which provides on page 4, line 16, before the period insert the following: “except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI” (the “cut-go” rule). The Rule waives all points of order against H.R. 1249. This includes a waiver of the “cut-go” rule (Clause 10 of rule XXI), which would be violated if the manager’s amendment were adopted. This is a clear violation of the House Rules, Republican floor protocols, and promises that were made by their GOP Leadership (230 – 184)

Bill Not Adopted Under Suspension of the Rules (1):
H.R. 672 - Election Support Consolidation and Efficiency Act (Rep. Harper - House Administration/Science, Space, and Technology)
