Bill > HRes1300

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on three separate pieces of legislation, which is a standard procedure used by the House Rules Committee to bring bills to the floor. Specifically, it establishes the guidelines for considering H.R. 1041, a bill that would stop the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from sharing certain records with the Department of Justice for use in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), the database used by firearm dealers to conduct mandatory background checks on prospective gun buyers. It also sets the rules for H.R. 6047, which directs the VA to increase the financial payouts for veterans' disability compensation as well as dependency and indemnity compensation provided to surviving family members. Additionally, the resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 1329, a bill allowing the proposed Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum to be built within the Reserve of the National Mall, a heavily protected and historically significant open-space area in Washington, D.C. Finally, the resolution waives certain internal House rules—specifically the requirement for a two-thirds majority vote to quickly consider specific rules reports on the same day they are filed—to expedite upcoming legislative actions through May 2026.
