Bill Analysis
H.Res. 992 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that sets the terms for 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 governs how the House debates and amends H.R. 7006.
Key functions and authorities:
- Brings H.R. 7006 to the floor: Authorizes the House to consider the FY2026 further consolidated appropriations bill, which packages multiple regular appropriations titles into one vehicle.
- Sets debate structure: Specifies how much time is allotted for general debate, typically dividing time between the majority and minority. It may also allocate time among relevant committees (e.g., Appropriations).
- Amendment rules: Determines whether H.R. 7006 is considered under:
- A closed rule (no floor amendments),
- A structured rule (only specified amendments in the accompanying Rules Committee report), or
- A modified open rule (amendments allowed under defined constraints). This directly affects which policy and funding changes can be proposed on the floor.
- Waivers of points of order: May waive certain Budget Act, House rule, or germaneness points of order that would otherwise block consideration of the bill or specific provisions. This can shield controversial or procedurally vulnerable language in H.R. 7006.
- Ordering previous question: Typically provides that, once debate concludes, the House will vote on amendments (if allowed) and final passage without additional procedural hurdles.
Affected entities:
- House members: Their ability to offer amendments or raise procedural objections is shaped by this rule.
- Agencies and programs in H.R. 7006: Indirectly affected because the rule influences what funding and policy provisions can be modified.
- Beneficiaries and regulated parties under H.R. 7006: Ultimately impacted by the underlying appropriations outcomes, which this rule structures but does not itself set.
Timeline:
- Effective immediately upon House adoption; it applies only to the consideration of H.R. 7006 during this stage of the FY2026 appropriations process.
