Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1131 is a special rule adopted by the House of Representatives that structures floor consideration of four separate measures, without itself authorizing spending or creating programs. It is a procedural resolution from the House Committee on Rules governing debate, amendments, and voting.
Covered measures:
H.R. 8029 – FY2026 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations
- H.Res. 1131 sets the terms under which the House will debate and amend the DHS appropriations bill for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
- It likely specifies overall debate time, which committee amendments are in order, and whether additional amendments may be offered under a structured or open process.
- Affects DHS components (e.g., CBP, ICE, FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, CISA) and downstream beneficiaries such as state/local governments, contractors, and grantees, but only through the underlying appropriations bill, not this resolution.
H.Res. 1128 – Support for DHS
- The rule provides for consideration of a separate, nonbinding resolution expressing House support for DHS.
- This is a statement of policy/position with no direct legal or funding effect.
H.R. 5103 – Beautify the District of Columbia / DC Safe and Beautiful Commission
- H.Res. 1131 governs how the House will consider this bill, which would create a beautification program and a new District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Commission.
- The underlying bill would affect D.C. residents, local agencies, and any federal entities designated to support or oversee the program.
H.R. 7084 – Vessel Eligibility in U.S. Navigable Waters
- The rule sets terms for debate and amendment of legislation amending title 46, U.S. Code, to change what types of vessels may enter or operate in U.S. navigable waters or transfer cargo in U.S. ports.
- Regulated parties would include U.S. and foreign vessel operators, port authorities, and related maritime industries, via the underlying bill.
Timelines: H.Res. 1131 is effective upon adoption and applies only to the specified floor proceedings. The latest action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—confirms final adoption, clearing the way for House consideration of the four measures under the prescribed terms.
