Summary:

Explains contrasting procedural contexts that influence consideration of limitation provisions in appropriations measures on the House and Senate floor. Defines two forms of limitations allowed under House and Senate precedents, including examples of previous purposes that have been allowed. Identifies variety of substantive challenges that exist in structuring a limitation provision so that it does not constitute legislative language, and thereby violate House and Senate rules.
