This bill has advanced since we wrote our summary.
Current stage on Congress.gov: Engrossed in House.
This resolution sets the House debate rules for three veterans- and Mall-related bills: H.R. 1041 (limiting what veterans data VA can send to the FBI background check system), H.R. 6047 (raising VA disability and dependency compensation amounts), and H.R. 1329 (allowing the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on the National Mall Reserve). Each bill gets one hour of debate split between the chair and ranking member, with one motion to recommit. The resolution also waives the standard two-thirds-vote rule so the Rules Committee can bring reconciliation-related resolutions to the floor the same day they are reported, through May 24, 2026.
