This House resolution sets the rules for how five separate measures will be considered on the House floor. It allows consideration of:
For H.R. 5625, H.R. 6260, and H.R. 8365, the resolution: waives points of order against consideration and provisions in each bill; treats the committee-recommended amendment in the nature of a substitute as adopted; considers the bill as read; limits debate to one hour (equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee or their designees); and allows one motion to recommit.
For H. Con. Res. 96, the resolution waives points of order, treats the concurrent resolution as read, limits debate to one hour (equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee or their designees), and orders the previous question to adoption without intervening motions.
For H.R. 8469, the resolution permits the House to resolve into the Committee of the Whole for consideration, waives points of order, limits general debate to one hour (equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee or their designees), directs amendment consideration under the five-minute rule, and restricts amendments to those printed in part B of the Committee on Rules report, certain en bloc amendments, and pro forma amendments (up to 10 per side). It also waives certain points of order against covered amendments and orders the previous question to final passage with one motion to recommit.
This resolution sets how the House will debate and vote on the listed measures. It speeds up consideration by limiting debate time, limiting which amendments may be offered, and waiving many procedural objections. It does not by itself change policy or spending amounts in those measures.
This resolution does not include or set spending amounts. It refers to H.R. 8469, which is an appropriations bill for military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs for FY2027, but this resolution does not include the appropriation amounts or cost details. No publicly available information about costs is provided in the resolution text.
No publicly available information in the resolution text explains supporters' stated reasons beyond the procedural effects described (allowing floor consideration, limiting debate, and specifying which amendments are allowed).
No publicly available information in the resolution text explains opponents' stated reasons or objections.
