Previous question shall be considered as ordered without intervening motions except motion to recommit with or without instructions. The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 113-51 shall be considered as adopted and the bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. 7/17/2014 DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on H.R. 4719. 7/17/2014 The previous question was ordered pursuant to the rule. 7/17/2014 Mr. Van Hollen moved to recommit with instructions to the Committee on Ways and Means. 7/17/2014 DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Van Hollen motion to recommit with instructions pending a reseravation of a point of order. The instructions contained in the motion seek to require the bill to be reported to the House with an amendment to extend the three existing charitable tax extenders and two new charitable tax provisions in the underlying bill for only two additional years, through the end of 2015, as opposed to the permanent extension costing $16 billion in the underlying bill. It would prevent these five tax cuts from permanently adding to the deficit, undermining comprehensive tax reform, and putting further pressure on the United States discretionary priorities. Additionally, the motion would deny any claiming of these five charitable tax provisions by inverted corporations that change their residence from the United States in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Subsequently, the point of order was withdrawn. 7/17/2014 The previous question on the motion to recommit with instructions was ordered without objection. 7/17/2014 Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection. 7/17/2014 7/17/2014 House amendment offered select this vote Vote 7/17/2014 On Motion to Recommit with Instructions: H R 4719 To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend and expand the charitable deduction for contributions of food inventory currently selected House Vote on Passage 7/17/2014 H.R. 4719 (113th): America Gives More Act of 2014 7/22/2014 Received in the Senate.
