Providing the sense of the House of Representatives that the House should not adjourn until the annual appropriation bills within the jurisdiction of all the subcommittees of the Committee on Appropriations for the current fiscal year are enacted into law.

Summary of the Bill

This is a resolution expressing the opinion of the House of Representatives that the House should not take a recess or adjourn (essentially, stop working and go home) until all of the annual government funding bills for the current fiscal year have been completed and signed into law. It covers all the spending bills handled by every subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, which together fund the entire federal government.

Each year, Congress is supposed to pass a series of appropriations (spending) bills that fund different parts of the government — from defense and education to transportation and health care. In practice, Congress frequently misses its deadlines and relies on temporary funding measures or large combined bills passed at the last minute. This resolution pushes back against that pattern by saying, in effect, "We shouldn't leave until we've finished our most basic job of funding the government."

It's important to note that this is a "sense of the House" resolution, meaning it expresses an opinion or position but does not carry the force of law. Even if it were adopted, it would not legally prevent the House from adjourning. However, it would put the House on record as committing to stay in session until all spending bills are done. This affects all members of the House of Representatives and, indirectly, could affect all Americans who rely on government services that depend on timely funding.
