Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 5371) making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This resolution provides a House procedure for the Senate-amended version of H.R. 5371, the fiscal year 2026 continuing appropriations and extensions bill. It allows the House to take the bill from the Speaker's table with the Senate amendment and consider a motion offered by the Appropriations Committee chair or designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment. It waives points of order, treats the Senate amendment and motion as read, sets one hour of debate divided between Appropriations Committee leaders, and orders the previous question to adoption. The rule is procedural, but it controls how the House handles stopgap funding.
Who Benefits and How
House Appropriations Committee leadership benefits because the chair or designee receives a direct concurrence motion. Supporters of H.R. 5371 benefit because the rule creates a protected path for House action on the Senate amendment. Federal agencies and programs covered by continuing appropriations benefit if the procedure helps avoid a funding lapse. House majority leadership benefits from a controlled debate and vote structure. Senate negotiators benefit because the House can act directly on the Senate amendment.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Members seeking points of order against the Senate amendment or concurrence motion bear a burden because the rule waives those objections. House minority leadership must fit objections into one hour of debate. Opponents of H.R. 5371 lose procedural tools to delay or amend the Senate-amended bill. House Clerk and floor staff must implement the Speaker's-table and concurrence-motion process.
