Summary#

This House resolution sets the rules for how the House will consider several separate measures. It authorizes the House to consider H.R. 8800 (the Defense authorization for FY2027) in the Committee of the Whole, H.R. 8884 (reauthorizing disability insurance demonstration authority), H. Con. Res. 113 (the congressional budget for FY2027 and budget levels through 2036), H.R. 7008 (restrictions on stock holdings for Members of Congress and their families), H.R. 6955 (changes to Federal banking laws), and H.R. 9770 (a continuing appropriations measure for FY2027).

The resolution waives points of order against consideration of these measures, sets specific debate times (normally one hour or one hour divided as listed), and specifies which amendment texts will be treated as adopted (Rules Committee Prints listed in the resolution). It limits which amendments may be offered for H.R. 8800 to those printed in the rules report, allows the Armed Services chair to offer amendments en bloc, permits up to 10 pro forma amendments each by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services, and sets the previous question to move to final passage with only one motion to recommit. The resolution also directs the Clerk, when engrossing H.R. 8800, to add the text of S. 1383 and to make technical corrections.

What it means for you#
