Currently, the House of Representatives follows established rules for bringing bills to a vote. If this resolution is adopted, the House would adopt specific rules to quickly bring three particular bills to a vote. These bills include H.R. 1041, which would change how the Department of Veterans Affairs shares certain information for gun background checks; H.R. 6047, which would increase disability and dependency payments for veterans and their families; and H.R. 1329, which would allow the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum to be built on the National Mall. Additionally, a procedural rule requiring a two-thirds vote for same-day consideration of certain budget-related reports would be temporarily waived through May 24, 2026.
