Directs that, once the resolution is adopted, the House will take up the Senate amendment to the continuing appropriations and extensions measure for fiscal year 2026 and consider a motion that the House concur in that amendment. The Senate amendment and the motion are treated as read; debate on the motion is limited to one hour split equally between the majority and minority and controlled by the Appropriations Committee chair and ranking member (or their designees); and the previous question is ordered on the motion to its adoption without any intervening motions.
Permit taking from the Speaker's table the bill H.R. 5371 (making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026) with the Senate amendment and consider it in the House upon adoption of this resolution.
Allow consideration in the House, without the intervention of any point of order, of a motion offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or the chair's designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371.
Provide that the Senate amendment and the motion to concur shall be considered as read (no additional reading required).
Limit debate on the motion to one hour total, to be divided equally and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their respective designees.
Order the previous question on the motion to its adoption without any intervening motion (i.e., close debate and proceed to final vote as provided).

Who is directly affected: House members (especially those on the Appropriations Committee) and House floor managers are the primary actors affected because the resolution sets debate time and procedural control. Committee staff supporting floor managers are also affected. Who is indirectly affected: agencies, programs, grant recipients, contractors, and the public could be indirectly affected because this rule speeds or constrains how the continuing appropriations measure is considered — which may affect how and when funding decisions are finalized. How they are affected: the rule limits debate and curtails additional motions, which shortens floor consideration and reduces opportunities for extended amendment or procedural delay. This concentrates control of the immediate debate with Appropriations leadership and makes final disposition of the motion to concur subject to the ordered previous question, increasing the likelihood of a quick vote on adoption. The resolution itself does not change substantive policy or appropriations amounts; its impact is on the tempo and structure of House floor action.
