Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds specific procedures for the consideration of bill H.R. 1, including the waiver of the first reading and all points of order against the bill. It also establishes limits on general debate time and states that an amendment in the nature of a substitute will be adopted in the House, allowing for further amendments.
