Dear Colleague:                                                   

The Committee on Rules may meet the week of April 13th to grant a rule that could limit the amendment process for floor consideration of H.R. 650, the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act of 2015.

Any Member wishing to offer an amendment must submit a searchable electronic copy of the amendment, which should be provided by the Office of Legislative Counsel, via the Rules Committee’s website. Members must also submit 30 hard copies of the amendment, one copy of a brief explanation of the amendment, and an amendment login form to the Rules Committee in room H-312 of the Capitol by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, April 13, 2015.  Both electronic and hard copies must be received by the date and time specified.  Members should draft their amendments to the text of H.R. 650 as reported by the Committee on Financial Services and is available on the Rules Committee website.

Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format.  Members should also check with the Congressional Budget Office for a preliminary assessment of their amendments’ budgetary effects.  Finally, Members should check with the Office of the Parliamentarian and the Committee on the Budget to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House and the Congressional Budget Act.  If you have any questions, please contact myself or Nathan Blake of the Committee staff at 225-9191.

Sincerely,

PETE SESSIONS
