AI-Generated Summary
Purpose H. Res. 1398 establishes procedural rules for House consideration of four measures: the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800), a national security and State Department appropriations bill (H.R. 8595), legislation reauthorizing a Social Security disability insurance demonstration (H.R. 8884), and a resolution marking the one-year anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cuts (H. Res. 1383). It also lays H. Res. 1377 on the table and directs specific engrossment actions for H.R. 8800.
Key Provisions
- H.R. 8800 (Defense Authorization): Provides for consideration in the Committee of the Whole with one hour of general debate. A Rules Committee Print (119-33) is adopted as the base text. Limits further amendments to those printed in part A of the Rules report, en bloc amendments, and up to 10 pro forma amendments each from the chair and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee.
- H.R. 8595 (Appropriations): Provides for consideration in the Committee of the Whole with one hour of general debate. Waives points of order under rule XXI clauses 2 and 5(a). Limits amendments to those in part B of the Rules report, en bloc amendments, and up to 10 pro forma amendments each from the chair and ranking member of the Appropriations Committee.
- H.R. 8884 (Social Security): Allows immediate consideration with one hour of debate. Adopts a Rules Committee Print (119-34) as the base text and waives points of order against the bill and its provisions.
- H. Res. 1383 (Commemorative Resolution): Allows immediate consideration. Adopts an amendment to the preamble printed in part C of the Rules report. Provides one hour of debate.
- Additional rules include en bloc amendment procedures, debate time allocations, and instructions for the Clerk to incorporate S. 1383 into H.R. 8800 during engrossment, with authority for technical corrections.
Significant Changes to Existing Law This resolution does not amend substantive statutes. It modifies House floor procedures by waiving certain points of order, structuring amendment opportunities, and substituting committee-reported text with Rules Committee Prints for two bills. It also directs the incorporation of Senate-passed text into the defense authorization bill.
Potential Impacts
- Facilitates timely House action on defense policy, appropriations, Social Security demonstrations, and a tax-related commemoration for fiscal year 2027.
- May affect funding and policy for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Department of State.
- Influences the Social Security disability insurance program through reauthorization of demonstration authority.
- Streamlines legislative processing but restricts open amendment processes.
Main Stakeholders Affected
- House Members and the Committees on Armed Services, Appropriations, and Ways and Means.
- Executive branch agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Energy, and Social Security Administration.
- Individuals and families receiving Social Security disability benefits or affected by the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Notable Legal, Constitutional, or Political Implications The resolution exercises the House’s authority under Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution to set its rules of proceedings. It employs structured rules that limit amendments and waive procedural objections, which can affect debate dynamics and bill outcomes. No direct constitutional challenges are addressed in the text.
