Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7006) making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House rule resolution controls floor consideration of H.R. 7006, a further consolidated appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026. After adoption, the Speaker may send the House into the Committee of the Whole for H.R. 7006. The first reading is dispensed with, points of order against consideration and provisions are waived, and general debate is limited to one hour equally divided between the Appropriations Committee chair and ranking minority member or their designees. After debate, H.R. 7006 is considered for amendment under the five-minute rule, but only amendments printed in the Rules Committee report may be offered, only in the printed order, only by designated Members, and without further amendment or division demands. Clause 2(e) of rule XXI does not apply during consideration. At the end, the Committee of the Whole reports the bill back to the House and the previous question is ordered to final passage except for one motion to recommit.
Who Benefits and How
House majority leadership benefits by controlling the floor path for a fiscal year 2026 appropriations package. Supporters of H.R. 7006 benefit from waiver protection, limited debate, structured amendments, and a final-vote path. The Appropriations Committee chair benefits from debate-control authority and a protected process for the bill. Members designated in the Rules Committee report benefit because their printed amendments are the only amendments made in order. Agencies and programs funded by H.R. 7006 benefit procedurally if the rule helps advance the appropriations bill.
Who Bears the Burden and How
House Members seeking unprinted amendments bear a burden because only Rules Committee-printed amendments may be offered. Members seeking procedural objections bear a burden because points of order are waived against consideration, provisions, and printed amendments. House minority leadership must work within one hour of debate and one recommit motion. Opponents of H.R. 7006 bear a procedural burden because the rule limits delay and floor challenges. House floor staff must administer Committee of the Whole, amendment order, waiver, previous-question, and recommit instructions.
