On Agreeing to the Resolution
Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1142 is a House procedural resolution governing how the House will handle a Senate amendment to H.R. 7147, a consolidated appropriations bill for FY2026 (ending September 30, 2026). It does not itself appropriate money or change substantive law; instead, it sets the parliamentary framework for finalizing the underlying spending package.
Key functions and authorities:
Disposition of Senate Amendment: The resolution specifies how the House will respond to the Senate’s changes to H.R. 7147—typically by:
- Agreeing to the Senate amendment as is, or
- Agreeing with further House amendments, or
- Disagreeing and requesting a conference, or
- Laying the amendment on the table (effectively rejecting it). The exact choice is embedded in the resolution’s operative text and becomes binding once adopted.
Floor Procedure: H.Res. 1142 likely:
- Deems certain text as adopted without separate votes (e.g., a House amendment in lieu of the Senate amendment).
- Limits debate time and designates who may control it (usually Appropriations Committee leaders).
- Waives specified points of order under House rules or the Congressional Budget Act that might otherwise block consideration of the Senate amendment or related conference report.
Scope of Affected Programs: Because H.R. 7147 is a “further consolidated appropriations” bill, it bundles multiple regular appropriations titles (e.g., Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, Transportation-HUD, etc.). All agencies funded in those titles are indirectly affected, as H.Res. 1142 is a necessary procedural step to finalize their FY2026 funding levels and conditions.
Beneficiaries/Regulated Parties: No individuals or entities are directly regulated by H.Res. 1142. Indirectly, all federal departments, grantees, contractors, and program beneficiaries covered by H.R. 7147 depend on this resolution to move the spending bill to enactment.
Timeline: The resolution takes effect upon House adoption and applies only to the specified Senate amendment to H.R. 7147 during the 119th Congress. The noted action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table, agreed to without objection”—means House approval is final and not subject to reconsideration.
