This procedural resolution would set the terms for House floor consideration of three bills: one limiting VA reporting to the federal gun background-check system, one directing cost-of-living increases for veteran disability compensation, and one authorizing a Smithsonian women's history museum on the National Mall.

What this bill would do

What it would do

H. Res. 1300 is a procedural "rule" resolution that structures how the House would debate and vote on three separate bills. For each bill, it waives applicable points of order, deems committee-recommended amendments as already adopted, and limits floor consideration to one hour of debate and one motion to recommit. It also waives the normal two-thirds majority requirement that would otherwise prevent the House from considering a Rules Committee report on the same day it is presented, applying that waiver to any such resolution through May 24, 2026, related to a budget reconciliation measure under S. Con. Res. 33.

The resolution does not itself change any law, appropriate any funds, or enact the substantive provisions of the three bills it enables. Its operative effect is purely procedural — clearing parliamentary obstacles so each of the three underlying bills can be brought to a House floor vote.

Key provisions

  1. 1Would make H.R. 1041 in order for House floor consideration, waiving all points of order and limiting debate to one hour with one motion to recommit.Sec. 1
  2. 2Would make H.R. 6047 in order for House floor consideration, incorporating a Rules Committee amendment modification, with one hour of debate and one motion to recommit.Sec. 2
  3. 3Would make H.R. 1329 in order for House floor consideration, incorporating a Rules Committee amendment modification, with one hour of debate and one motion to recommit.Sec. 3
  4. 4Would waive the two-thirds same-day vote requirement for Rules Committee reports related to a budget reconciliation measure through May 24, 2026.Sec. 4

Who would be affected

House Members debating and voting on H.R. 1041, H.R. 6047, and H.R. 1329. The resolution shapes floor procedure for those bills, affecting the minority's ability to offer amendments and the time available for debate. Indirectly, the veterans and museum stakeholders who would benefit from the underlying bills are affected if this resolution enables their passage.

Why it matters

Without a rule like this, each underlying bill would face procedural hurdles — points of order, unlimited amendments, and same-day restriction waivers — that could delay or block floor votes. By packaging floor terms for three bills together and waiving the same-day rule for a reconciliation resolution, it shapes the legislative path for veterans' benefits and the National Mall museum project.

How implementation would work

Upon adoption, the resolution takes effect immediately and self-executes its terms: committee substitute amendments are deemed adopted without a separate vote, points of order are waived by operation of the rule, and floor time is capped at one hour per bill. The Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution contains the specific amendment texts for H.R. 6047 (Part A) and H.R. 1329 (Part B). No agency rulemaking or reporting requirements flow from this procedural measure itself.
