This resolution speeds consideration of H.R. 7378 but does so by waiving an established House rule, trading faster action for weaker procedural safeguards and a precedent that could erode future deliberation and oversight.
House members and stakeholders in H.R. 7378 (including federal employees): the House can consider H.R. 7378 immediately by waiving Rule XIX clause 1(c), accelerating consideration and potential passage of that bill.
American public and House members: sets a precedent for bypassing standing House rules, increasing the risk that future measures will be fast-tracked without full debate, committee review, or transparency.
House members and related staff: waiving Rule XIX clause 1(c) reduces procedural constraints and can limit members' ability to enforce decorum or other debate restrictions, weakening immediate checks on floor conduct.

Waives Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX for consideration of a specified House measure, removing that rule's restriction for that proceeding.
Introduced February 10, 2026 by W. Greg Steube · Last progress February 10, 2026
Exempts consideration of a specific House measure from Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX, removing that rule's restriction for proceedings on that measure. The change is procedural: it alters how the House may consider and debate that particular measure but does not change the content of the underlying measure or create any new funding, programs, or mandates.
