Legislative Activity

This resolution establishes the House rules for swiftly considering and voting on two key bills: the fiscal year 2026 defense authorization bill (H.R. 3838) and a bill increasing penalties for illegal re-entry after removal (H.R. 3486). It streamlines debate by waiving procedural objections and setting strict time limits for amendments on both measures. The resolution dictates which versions of the bills will be used and severely limits the types of further changes allowed before final votes.

The resolution waives most procedural objections and strictly limits debate time for each measure to ensure swift consideration and votes.
