Placed on the House Calendar, Calendar No. 76.
This resolution tells the House how to consider three specific bills by setting debate rules and waiving certain procedural objections. It adopts committee-recommended substitute amendments as if they were already part of each bill, treats the bills as read, and waives points of order against them. For each bill it limits debate to one hour divided between the committee chair and ranking member, allows one motion to recommit, and orders the previous question to move directly to final passage. It also waives a House rule so certain Rules Committee reports can be considered the same day through May 24, 2026.
This is a House floor rule reported by the Committee on Rules and voted on only in the House; it is not law. It provides closed-rule procedures (waivers, adopted substitutes, limited debate, and one motion to recommit) and waives the two-thirds requirement for certain Rules reports through May 24, 2026.
This is a House rules resolution that permits floor consideration of three separate bills: H.R. 1041 (prohibiting the VA from transmitting certain information to DOJ for NICS), H.R. 6047 (increasing dollar amounts for certain VA disability and dependency payments), and H.R. 1329 (allowing the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum to be located within the National Mall Reserve).
The resolution waives points of order, adopts committee amendments as adopted, limits debate to one hour per bill, allows one motion to recommit each, and waives a two-thirds rule requirement for certain Rules Committee reports through May 24, 2026.
Rule passage in House is likely; the three substantive bills have mixed prospects—noncontroversial items fare well, but a gun/NICS-related prohibition faces higher barriers in the Senate and possible executive consideration.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this rule resolution is explicit and operationally specific. It identifies the bills to be considered, prescribes adopted substitute language, waives points of order, sets debate time and the availability of a motion to recommit, and temporarily waives a two-thirds requirement for certain rules committee reports through a specified date.
