Bill Analysis
H.Res. 992 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that governs how the House considers H.R. 7006, a major consolidated appropriations bill for FY2026. It does not itself appropriate funds or change substantive law; instead, it structures floor debate and amendment opportunities for H.R. 7006 and related measures.
Key functions and authorities:
Brings H.R. 7006 to the floor: The resolution authorizes the House to consider H.R. 7006, a further consolidated appropriations bill for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. That underlying bill likely bundles multiple regular appropriations titles (e.g., Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, Homeland Security, etc.) into a single package.
Sets debate terms: The rule specifies how much time is allotted for general debate, how that time is divided between majority and minority, and which committee(s) control the debate. It may also waive certain points of order against consideration of the bill or against specific provisions (for example, violations of House rules or the Congressional Budget Act).
Amendment structure: H.Res. 992 determines whether H.R. 7006 is considered under:
- a “closed” rule (no floor amendments),
- a “structured” rule (only specified amendments in a printed list), or
- a “modified open” rule (amendments allowed under constraints). This directly affects which policy and funding changes can be proposed on the floor.
Other measures and procedures: The phrase “and for other purposes” typically indicates the rule may:
- Deem certain budgetary or procedural steps as taken (e.g., adoption of a committee report or a budget enforcement mechanism).
- Provide for consideration of related appropriations or extension measures.
- Adjust House operating procedures or calendars for the appropriations process.
Affected entities and timelines:
- Agencies/programs: All federal departments and programs funded in H.R. 7006 are indirectly affected because this rule is a prerequisite to floor action on their FY2026 funding.
- Beneficiaries/regulated parties: Federal agencies, contractors, grantees, and program beneficiaries are impacted only through the underlying appropriations bill, not this rule itself.
- Procedural status: The latest action—“motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—means the House finalized its disposition of the resolution, closing off further reconsideration and locking in the procedural terms it established.
