01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution tells the House to treat the Senate amendment to the FY2026 consolidated appropriations bill as taken from the Speaker's table and to concur in that amendment by substituting the text of a specific Rules Committee print. It is a procedural action that makes a particular text the House's official disposition of the Senate amendment. It does not itself create law; it only governs the House's internal handling of the bill.

Passage rules

This is a House-only simple resolution used to record and implement the House's disposition of a Senate amendment; it is not sent to the President and does not have the force of law.

This House resolution (H.

Res. 1142) directs that, upon adoption, the House is considered to have taken up H.R. 7147 (further consolidated appropriations for FY2026) with the Senate amendment and to have concurred in that amendment by substituting the text of Rules Committee Print 119–21.

It is a procedural disposition so the House can approve the Senate amendment with a specific House amendment text.

Passage0/100

House resolutions are internal procedural actions and do not become federal law; the resolution is likely to be adopted but not enacted as law.

CredibilityAligned
