This resolution sets the ground rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on four unrelated bills in one session: a proposal to make daylight saving time permanent (H.R. 139), a national security and State Department funding bill for fiscal year 2027 (H.R. 8595), a package of veterans' benefits and VA administration changes (H.R. 9237), and a bill barring payment networks from creating special merchant codes that single out firearms retailers (H.R. 1181). It waives certain procedural objections members could otherwise raise against considering these bills and sets time limits for debate, allowing only one motion to send each bill back to committee. For the appropriations bill, it also directs that the text of a separate Senate bill (S. 1383) be added to the end of H.R. 8595 before final passage. The resolution itself does not change any law — it only controls the House floor process for these four measures.
