Bill > HRes1377

This Resolution sets the rules and procedures for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on four distinct pieces of legislation. Specifically, it establishes guidelines for considering H.R. 1181, which prohibits credit card networks and related entities from using specific merchant category codes—standard numerical classifications used by the payment industry to identify the type of business a merchant operates—to distinguish firearms retailers from general merchandise or sporting goods stores. Additionally, the Resolution governs the process for considering two major annual spending bills for the 2027 fiscal year: H.R. 9022, which provides appropriations for energy and water development and related agencies, and H.R. 8595, which funds national security, the Department of State, and related programs, both of which will be debated under a structured amendment process managed by the House Rules Committee. Finally, the Resolution outlines the parameters for considering H.R. 9237, a bill designed to update federal laws and improve benefits and administration for military veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs, often referred to as the VA, which is the federal cabinet-level agency responsible for providing lifelong healthcare services and benefits to eligible military veterans.
