Providing for consideration of the Senate amendments to the bill (H.R. 7148) making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J.

This House rule resolution would set the terms of debate for three separate measures: Senate amendments to a fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill, a resolution disapproving a District of Columbia tax law, and a bill codifying mining-related executive orders.
It would not decide any of those matters itself; it only governs how much debate time each gets, waives certain procedural objections, and structures the floor votes that follow.
What this bill would do
What it would do
The resolution would set the procedural rules the House must follow to consider three unrelated items on the floor. First, it would allow the House to take up the Senate's amendments to H.R. 7148, a further consolidated appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026, through a single motion to concur, debatable for one hour. Second, it would allow consideration of H.J. Res. 142, disapproving a District of Columbia Council tax law, waiving points of order and allowing one hour of debate plus a motion to recommit. Third, it would allow consideration of H.R. 4090, a bill codifying certain mining-related executive orders, adopting a Natural Resources Committee substitute, waiving points of order, and allowing one hour of debate plus a motion to recommit. It does not itself enact the appropriations bill, disapprove the D.C. tax law, or codify the mining provisions — it only clears the procedural path for the House to vote on each.
Key provisions
- 1Would allow the House to take up Senate amendments to H.R. 7148 (fiscal year 2026 appropriations) via a single one-hour-debate motion to concur
- 2Would allow consideration of H.J. Res. 142 disapproving a D.C. Council tax law, waiving points of order and allowing one hour of debate plus a motion to recommit
- 3Would allow consideration of H.R. 4090 codifying mining-related executive orders, adopting a committee substitute and waiving points of order, with one hour of debate plus a motion to recommit
Who would be affected
Members of the House of Representatives, who would be bound by these debate limits and procedural waivers; and indirectly, federal agencies, the District of Columbia government, and mining and public-lands stakeholders whose underlying measures (appropriations, D.C. tax policy, and mining rules) depend on this rule being adopted first.
Why it matters
Without this rule, the House could not efficiently bring these three items to a vote under controlled debate limits and waived points of order. Its adoption is a procedural prerequisite that determines how much floor debate and what objections are permitted before votes occur on appropriations, D.C. tax policy, and mining executive-order codification.
