Bill > HRes1438

This Resolution establishes the rules and procedures for the House of Representatives to consider six major legislative measures, acting essentially as a procedural roadmap set by the House Rules Committee to manage debate and amendments. First, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 8800, the annual defense authorization bill, allowing a set period for general debate and specific pre-printed amendments concerning military activities of the Department of Defense and Department of Energy for fiscal year 2027, while also directing the Clerk to append the text of another passed Senate measure (S. 1383) to it upon engrossment. Second, it sets terms for H.R. 8884, a bill to reauthorize demonstration authority for the disability insurance program under title II of the Social Security Act, which provides financial support to individuals with disabilities. Third, it provides for consideration of H. Con. Res. 113, a concurrent resolution establishing the congressional budget and setting spending levels for the federal government for fiscal year 2027 and the subsequent decade through 2036. Fourth, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 7008, a transparency and ethics bill imposing stock-trading restrictions on Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependents. Fifth, it regulates the debate for H.R. 6955, which makes general improvements to federal banking laws governing financial institutions. Finally, the Resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 9770, a continuing resolution (often abbreviated as a CR), which is a temporary funding measure used by Congress to keep federal government agencies operating and prevent a government shutdown when regular annual appropriations bills have not been fully enacted by the start of the fiscal year.
