Bill Analysis
H.Res. 992 is a special “rule” resolution from the House Committee on Rules that governs floor consideration of H.R. 7006, a major consolidated appropriations bill for FY2026. It does not itself appropriate money or change substantive law; instead, it sets the procedural terms under which the House debates and votes on H.R. 7006 and related matters.
Key functions and authorities:
Adopts a structured rule (or another specified rule type) for H.R. 7006, defining:
- How long the bill will be debated and how that time is divided between majority and minority.
- What amendments, if any, are in order, often via a printed list of “made-in-order” amendments.
- Whether points of order under House rules (e.g., against unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an appropriations bill) are waived.
May provide for:
- Consideration of a single consolidated appropriations package covering multiple regular appropriations bills for FY2026 (through September 30, 2026).
- Self-executing adoption of certain amendments or text (e.g., replacing the introduced text of H.R. 7006 with a Rules Committee print).
- A specified procedure for resolving differences with the Senate (e.g., allowing a motion to go to conference or to concur in Senate amendments).
Programs and agencies affected (indirectly):
- All federal departments and agencies funded in H.R. 7006 (e.g., Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, Homeland Security, etc.), to the extent they are included in the consolidated appropriations package.
- The resolution itself does not set funding levels but enables consideration of the vehicle that does.
Who is affected or regulated:
- House members: Bound by the debate, amendment, and voting structure established by the rule.
- Executive agencies and beneficiaries (states, contractors, grantees, individuals) are affected only through the underlying appropriations in H.R. 7006, not by H.Res. 992 directly.
Timelines:
- Applies to the specific consideration window for H.R. 7006, typically over one or more legislative days specified in the resolution.
- Targets appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
The noted latest action (“motion to reconsider laid on the table, agreed to without objection”) indicates the House finalized its disposition of the resolution, locking in the rule’s terms.
