HRES1131-119

What This Bill Does

This House rule resolution controls floor consideration for several measures. It makes H.R. 8029, the fiscal year 2026 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, in order with one hour of Appropriations Committee debate, point-of-order waivers, and one motion to recommit. It makes H. Res. 1128, a resolution supporting DHS, in order with Rules Committee amendments treated as adopted and one hour of Homeland Security Committee debate. It makes H.R. 5103 in order to establish a Beautify the District of Columbia program and a District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Commission, with the Oversight and Government Reform substitute treated as adopted. It makes H.R. 7084 in order on vessel entry or operation in U.S. navigable waters and cargo transfer in U.S. ports, with the Transportation and Infrastructure substitute treated as adopted. It also amends section 8 of House Resolution 707 by replacing the March 31, 2026 date with the remainder of the 119th Congress.

Who Benefits and How

House majority leadership benefits by scheduling DHS appropriations, DHS support messaging, D.C. beautification, and maritime-security legislation under one controlled rule. Supporters of H.R. 8029 benefit because DHS appropriations receive a protected path to floor passage. DHS employees and DHS component leaders benefit procedurally because H.R. 8029 and H. Res. 1128 are both moved to floor action. Supporters of H.R. 5103 benefit because the D.C. beautification and safety commission bill receives floor time with its committee substitute adopted. Supporters of H.R. 7084 benefit because the vessel and cargo-transfer restrictions bill receives floor time and a final vote path.

Who Bears the Burden and How

House Members seeking procedural objections or open amendments bear a burden because points of order are waived and substitute texts are treated as adopted. House minority leadership must work within limited debate time and one recommit motion for the covered bills. Opponents of DHS appropriations levels, D.C. beautification governance changes, or maritime vessel restrictions face a procedural disadvantage because the rule protects those measures from floor challenges. House floor staff must manage separate debate controls across Appropriations, Homeland Security, Oversight, and Transportation jurisdictions.
