Amends H.Res.5 to allow the chair of the following committees, for the remainder of the 114th Congress and upon consultation with the ranking minority member, to order the taking of depositions by a member or counsel of such committee: Energy and Commerce; Financial Services; Science, Space, and Technology; and Ways and Means.

AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a Senate amendment to a bill, H.B. 3762, which is related to budget reconciliation for fiscal year 2016. Budget reconciliation is a process Congress uses to bring spending and revenue laws in line with budget goals. The resolution allows the House to consider the Senate's changes to H.B. 3762 without facing procedural objections, and it outlines how a motion to accept these changes will be debated and voted on. Additionally, this resolution amends a previous House rule (H.Res. 5) to grant the chairs of four specific committees—Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, Science, Space, and Technology, and Ways and Means—the authority, after consulting with the lead minority member, to allow committee members or staff to take depositions, which are sworn testimonies, for the remainder of the 114th Congress.
