What this bill would do
What it would do
This resolution is a procedural rule governing how the House would consider H.R. 7006, the further consolidated appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026. It would allow the Speaker to resolve the House into the Committee of the Whole, cap general debate at one hour divided between the Appropriations Committee's chair and ranking member, waive all points of order against consideration of the bill and its provisions, and consider the bill as read. It would restrict amendments to only those printed in the accompanying Rules Committee report, offered in a specified order by designated members, with set debate time and no further amendments allowed. The resolution also lets the Appropriations chair insert explanatory material into the Congressional Record by January 16, 2026. It does not itself set appropriations levels or policy; it only governs the procedure for debating and amending H.R. 7006.
