Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1095 is a House procedural measure (a “special rule”) that governs how the House considers H.R. 7744, the FY2026 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill. It does not itself appropriate funds or change substantive law; instead, it structures floor debate and amendment procedures for H.R. 7744.
Key functions and authorities:
- Brings H.R. 7744 to the floor: Authorizes the House to consider the DHS appropriations bill, overcoming normal order hurdles (e.g., needing a special rule from the Rules Committee).
- Sets debate terms: Specifies the total time allocated for general debate on H.R. 7744 and how that time is divided (typically between majority and minority members of the Appropriations Committee).
- Amendment process: Establishes whether H.R. 7744 is considered under:
- An “open,” “structured,” or “closed” rule;
- Which amendments are in order, their sequence, and whether they must be pre-printed;
- Any germaneness or subject-matter limits; and
- Whether amendments are debatable and for how long.
- Waivers of points of order: May waive certain Budget Act, House rule, or appropriations-specific points of order that could otherwise block consideration of the bill or specific provisions (e.g., restrictions on unauthorized appropriations or reappropriations).
- Previous question and final passage: Typically provides for one motion to recommit (with or without instructions) and sets the process for moving to final passage after amendment.
Affected entities and stakeholders:
- Directly affected: House floor procedure; members’ ability to offer and debate amendments to DHS funding.
- Indirectly affected: DHS components (e.g., CBP, ICE, TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, CISA) and their grantees, contractors, and regulated parties, because the rule determines how flexibly the House can modify H.R. 7744’s funding and policy riders.
Timeline:
- Effective only for the consideration period of H.R. 7744.
- The noted latest action (“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”) indicates the House finalized action on the resolution, locking in the rule’s terms for that consideration.
