Summary

Provides special House floor rules to bring three separate bills to immediate consideration and to waive certain procedural barriers. It makes in order immediate consideration of a firearm-law modernization bill, a bill revising authorizations for undersea fiber-optic cables in marine sanctuaries, and a bill to strengthen supply security for critical energy resources (including critical minerals), limits debate on each to one hour, waives points of order, deems committee substitutes adopted, and allows one motion to recommit for each. It also temporarily waives a two-thirds vote requirement for Rules Committee reports tied to a continuing appropriations measure through February 13, 2026. The resolution mainly changes House procedure for how these three measures will be considered: it shortens debate, restricts amendments and points of order, and sets the terms for final passage voting on each bill. It does not itself change policy beyond those procedural directions, nor does it appropriate funds.

• Gives immediate House floor access to three distinct bills by waiving procedural barriers.
• Declares committee substitutes adopted and deems the bills read, limiting debate and amendment opportunities.
• Limits debate on each bill to one hour, equally divided between majority and minority controllers from relevant committees.
• Allows one motion to recommit for each bill and orders the previous question to final passage under the set terms.
• Includes a temporary waiver (through Feb 13, 2026) of the two-thirds vote requirement for same-day Rules Committee reports tied to a continuing appropriations measure.
• Applies to bills covering firearms law changes, undersea fiber-optic cable authorizations in marine sanctuaries, and securing critical energy resources including critical minerals.
• Main impact is procedural: it speeds floor consideration and restricts amendment/debate rights for Members.
• Does not itself appropriate funds, change tax law, or create new program authorizations beyond what the underlying bills propose.
