Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1014 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that governs how the House considers two major appropriations bills for FY2026: H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147, both “further consolidated appropriations” measures. It does not itself appropriate funds or change substantive law, but it structures debate and amendment for those funding bills.
Key functions and authorities:
- Provides a special rule for H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147: Specifies how much floor debate time is allowed, how that time is controlled (typically by the Appropriations Committee majority and minority), and whether the bills are considered under an open, modified-open, or closed amendment process.
- Waives points of order: Likely includes waivers of certain Budget Act or House rule points of order (e.g., against unauthorized appropriations or violations of budget allocations), thereby allowing the underlying appropriations bills to proceed despite procedural defects.
- Specifies amendment procedures: May identify which amendments are in order, their sequence, and time limits for each, often via a printed list in the Rules Committee report. This effectively regulates which policy and funding changes can be considered on the floor.
- Provides for motions: Typically allows one motion to recommit (with or without instructions), giving the minority a final opportunity to amend or send the bill back to committee.
Affected entities:
- Primary institutional impact is on House floor procedure and the legislative path of H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147.
- Substantive beneficiaries or regulated parties are indirect and depend entirely on the content of those two appropriations bills (covering multiple federal departments and programs for FY2026).
Timelines:
- The resolution is effective only for the consideration period of H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147.
- The latest action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—finalizes House adoption of the rule, clearing the way for immediate or scheduled floor consideration of the two appropriations measures.
