Summary

Sets House floor rules to speed consideration and final votes on three separate bills by waiving procedural objections, adopting committee substitute texts as the amendments in the nature of a substitute, and limiting debate to short, divided timeframes with one motion to recommit preserved. Also waives the two-thirds same-day Rules Committee report requirement for resolutions related to continuing appropriations for FY2026 through February 13, 2026.

• Waives points of order to fast-track House consideration of three separate bills by adopting committee substitute texts and treating those bills as read.
• Limits debate on each covered bill to one hour, equally divided between majority and minority managers, and preserves one motion to recommit.
• Orders the previous question for final passage so votes can proceed without intervening motions beyond the permitted debate and motion to recommit.
• Waives the two-thirds same-day rule for Rules Committee reports related to FY2026 continuing appropriations through Feb 13, 2026.
• The resolution is procedural and does not itself change statutes, authorize spending, or create agency obligations.
• Includes an introductory clause that presents the amendment text referenced in the resolution; that clause is not an independent policy or funding provision.
• Applies to bills that touch different policy areas, so it bundles multiple consideration rules into a single procedural package.
