Bill > HRes992

This resolution, a procedural measure from the House of Representatives, sets the rules for debating and voting on H.R. 7006, a bill concerning appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the House floor for consideration by the Committee of the Whole, a process where all members can participate. The resolution waives certain procedural rules, meaning that objections to considering the bill or its provisions will not be allowed. Debate will be limited to one hour, equally divided between the majority and minority parties' appropriations committee leaders. After this general debate, amendments will be considered under a "five-minute rule," allowing for brief debate on each proposed change. Crucially, only amendments specifically listed in the accompanying report from the Committee on Rules will be permitted, and these amendments will have strict debate limits and cannot be further amended. Finally, once all amendments are considered, the bill will be sent back to the full House for a final vote, with no further procedural delays allowed except for a single motion to recommit the bill. Additionally, the chair of the Appropriations Committee is authorized to insert explanatory material about H.R. 7006 into the Congressional Record by a specific date.
