Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1142 is a House procedural resolution governing how the House will handle a Senate amendment to H.R. 7147, a large “further consolidated appropriations” bill for FY2026 (covering federal spending through September 30, 2026) and related matters.
Because it is a simple House resolution, H.Res. 1142 does not itself appropriate money, change permanent law, or create or abolish programs. Instead, it:
Sets floor procedure for H.R. 7147: The resolution specifies how the Senate’s amendment to H.R. 7147 is to be considered in the House—typically including whether the House will vote to concur, concur with an amendment, or disagree and request a conference. It may also structure debate time, control of debate, and whether any further amendments are in order.
Controls disposition of the Senate amendment: The core function is to provide a formal “disposition” path for the Senate’s changes to the House-originated appropriations package. This is a standard step in reconciling House and Senate versions of major spending legislation.
Affects appropriations across multiple agencies: While H.Res. 1142 is procedural, the underlying bill, H.R. 7147, is a consolidated appropriations measure. That means the resolution indirectly affects funding outcomes for multiple federal departments and agencies (e.g., Defense, Homeland Security, Labor–HHS–Education, etc.), depending on what the Senate amendment contains and how the House chooses to respond.
Beneficiaries and regulated parties: No individuals or entities are directly regulated or funded by H.Res. 1142 itself. The “beneficiaries” are institutional: the House majority gains structured control over how to respond to the Senate’s position on FY2026 appropriations, and the appropriations process is advanced toward final enactment.
Timelines: The resolution applies immediately upon adoption and only to the specific Senate amendment to H.R. 7147. Its operative effect ends once the House completes action on that amendment (e.g., by concurring, disagreeing, or sending the matter to conference). The noted action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—indicates the House’s decision on the resolution is final and not subject to reconsideration.
