	Amend HR 2 as follows:                                                       
	(1) On page 108, amend Rule 6, Section 1(a), by striking lines 
3-7 and substituting the following:
		(10) Third reading calendars of the house in their order 
of priority in accordance with Section 7 of this rule, unless a 
different order is determined under other provisions of these 
rules.
		(11) Postponed matters to be laid before the house in 
accordance with Rule 7, Section 15. 
		(12) [(11)] Second reading calendars [Calendars] of the 
house in their order of priority in accordance with Section 7 of 
this rule, unless a different order is determined under other 
provisions of these rules.
	(2) Strike page 116, lines 12 through 19, and substitute the 
following for Rule 6, Section 15:
	Sec. 15. ORDER OF CONSIDERATION OF CALENDARS. Except for 
local, consent, and resolutions calendars and congratulatory and 
memorial calendars, consideration of calendars shall be in the 
order named in Section 7 of this rule, subject to any exceptions 
ordered by the Committee on Calendars. Bills [With respect to a 
particular calendar, bills] and resolutions on third reading shall 
have precedence over bills and resolutions on second reading. 
	(3) Strike page 124, lines 7 through 23, and substitute the 
following for Rule 6, Section 25:
	Sec. 25. DISCRETION IN PLACEMENT ON CALENDARS. Subject to the 
limitations contained in this rule, the Committee on Calendars 
shall have full authority to make placements on calendars in 
whatever order is necessary and desirable under the circumstances 
then existing, except that bills on third reading [on a particular 
calendar] shall have precedence over bills on second reading [on 
the same calendar]. It is the intent of the calendar system to give 
the Committee on Calendars wide discretion to insure adequate 
consideration by the house of important legislation. 
	(4) Strike page 136, lines 3-11, and substitute the following 
for Rule 7, Section 37(a):
	Sec. 37. MOTION TO RECONSIDER A VOTE. (a) When a question has 
been decided by the house and the yeas and nays have been called for 
and recorded, any member voting with the prevailing side may, on the 
same legislative day, or on the next legislative day, move a 
reconsideration; however, if a reconsideration is moved on the next 
legislative day, it must be done before the order of the day, as 
designated in the 10th [11th] item of Rule 6, Section 1(a), is taken 
up. If the house refuses to reconsider, or on reconsideration, 
affirms its decision, no further action to reconsider shall be in 
order. 
	(5) Strike page 151, lines 7-16, and substitute the following 
for Rule 8, Section 17:
	Sec. 17. PASSAGE TO ENGROSSMENT OR THIRD READING. After a 
bill or complete committee substitute for a bill has been taken up 
and read, amendments shall be in order. If no amendment is made, or 
if those proposed are disposed of, then the final question on its 
second reading shall be, in the case of a house bill, whether it 
shall be passed to engrossment, or, in the case of a senate bill, 
whether it shall pass to its third reading. All bills ordered passed 
to engrossment or passed to a third reading shall remain on the 
calendar on which placed, but with future priority over bills [on 
the same calendar] that have not passed second reading.
