Latest Action · August 7, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
This bill modifies congressional rules for handling appropriations legislation by establishing specific procedures for how Congress must consider spending bills. In the Senate, the bill would limit debate on annual appropriation bills and related amendments to no more than 20 hours total. In the House of Representatives, the bill would prohibit the chamber from approving longer adjournment periods during July until it has passed appropriation bills covering all subcommittees of the Appropriations Committee for the upcoming fiscal year. The legislation is designed to encourage Congress to complete its appropriations work on a more timely basis by creating procedural incentives, particularly during the summer months. This bill affects members of Congress and the overall legislative process but has no direct impact on federal spending amounts or the general public.
