THE PREVIOUS QUESTION →What the House was voting on
The House voted on whether to end debate on H.Res. 1014, the rule for debating H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147, and vote on the rule—not on either bill. The resolution provides for consideration of two further consolidated appropriations bills for fiscal year 2026. The motion passed, meeting the 215-vote threshold.
End debate on H.Res. 1014, the rule for debating H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147, and vote on it now.
Keep debate open so a change to H.Res. 1014 can be offered.
Funds major federal programs for the rest of FY2026, temporarily continues DHS funding, and extends expiring authorities and health programs.
Signed into law on Feb. 3, 2026 as Public Law 119-75, 14 days after it was introduced.
