Subject: Omnibus Crime Bill
Description: Adoption of the rule to waive points of order and provide for House floor consideration of the conference report making a series of changes in the original conference report, including a cut in the overall authorization level from $33.5 billion to $30.2 billion over six years, a requirement that all spending authorized by the bill come from a six-year, $30.2 billion crime trust fund realized from eliminating 270,000 federal jobs, a reduction from $8.9 billion to $6.9 billion in the amount for crime prevention programs, a provision to notify communities about violent sex offenders, and a provision to allow prior sex offenses to be admitted in federal trials.
