Transparency & Accountability

Nothing changes for you — this only sets the House debate terms for a FISA surveillance bill.

Transparency & Accountability

Sending the bill back to committee — one motion allowed

A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee before the last vote. The rule keeps that one option open.

Amendments members could offer — none allowed on this bill

Members could vote yes or no on H.R. 8035, but they could not change its text. Their one other option was a motion to send the bill back to committee.

Objections that the bill breaks House rules — all waived

A point of order is an objection that a bill breaks House rules, such as budget rules. This rule turns those objections off, both for taking up H.R. 8035 and for what is in it.

Debate on the FISA surveillance bill — one hour total

The hour is split evenly between the two parties. The top members of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees hand out the time.

More about this bill

Nothing here changes your money, your taxes, or any service you use. This is a House floor rule. It sets the terms for debating one bill, H.R. 8035. The House agreed to the rule on April 17, 2026. That bill would extend surveillance powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The extension would run through October 20, 2027. Under the rule, the House gets one hour of debate on it. Members may not offer changes on the floor. Objections that the bill breaks House rules are set aside. Members keep one motion to send the bill back to committee. Any real effect on you would come from that bill, not from this rule.
