Introduced February 17, 2026 by Brian K. Fitzpatrick · Last progress February 17, 2026
Waives a specific House Rule provision for the upcoming floor consideration of the specified measure, allowing actions otherwise barred by that clause during that consideration. It also treats a qualifying amendment in the nature of a substitute — one submitted for printing at least one day before consideration and submitted by Representative Fitzpatrick — as the official substitute amendment; if more than one qualifying amendment is submitted, the last one received is treated as adopted. The change affects only House floor procedure for that consideration event, creates no new spending or statutory changes, and imposes no deadlines beyond the timing of the floor consideration itself.
