Bill Analysis
H.Res. 992 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that governs floor consideration of H.R. 7006, a large consolidated appropriations bill for FY2026. It does not itself appropriate funds or change substantive law; instead, it structures debate, amendment, and voting on H.R. 7006 and related matters.
Key functions and authorities:
Brings H.R. 7006 to the floor: The resolution “provides for consideration” of the FY2026 consolidated appropriations bill, allowing the House to formally debate and vote on it. Without such a rule, the bill generally cannot proceed under standard procedures.
Sets debate terms: It specifies how much time is allotted for general debate, how that time is divided between majority and minority, and which committees’ jurisdictions are recognized. It may also waive certain points of order under House rules (e.g., budget, authorization, or germaneness rules) that could otherwise block or delay consideration.
Structures amendments: The rule typically designates whether H.R. 7006 is considered under:
- A closed rule (no amendments),
- A structured rule (only specified amendments in the accompanying Rules Committee report), or
- An open rule (broad amendment opportunities). It can also specify the order of amendments, time for each, and who may offer them.
Provides for final passage procedures: It sets how the House will vote on the bill (and possibly on any self-executing amendments), and may allow for a single up-or-down vote on a manager’s amendment or on multiple divisions of the bill.
Affected entities:
- House members and committees are directly governed by the rule’s procedures.
- Federal agencies and programs funded in H.R. 7006 are indirectly affected, because the rule determines whether and how funding levels and policy riders can be amended.
- Beneficiaries and regulated parties of federal appropriations (states, localities, contractors, program recipients) are affected only through the underlying appropriations bill, not by H.Res. 992 itself.
Timeline:
- Applies only to the consideration of H.R. 7006 (and any specified related motions) during the 119th Congress.
- The noted latest action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—finalizes House adoption of the rule, making its procedures operative for H.R. 7006’s floor consideration.
