This resolution includes bills, joint resolutions, and messages from the House of Representatives within the scope of a point of order that prohibits the Senate from considering legislation unless each congressionally directed spending item (i.e., earmark), limited tax benefit, or limited tariff benefit in the legislation has been publicly identified. Currently, the point of order only applies to Senate bills or joint resolutions that are not reported by committee.
