Providing for consideration of the Senate amendments to the bill (H.R. 7148) making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 142) disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4090) to codify certain provisions of certain Executive Orders relating to domestic mining and hardrock mineral resources, and for other purposes.

What This Bill Does

This legislation is what's called a "rule" — a procedural measure passed by the House of Representatives that sets the terms for how Congress will debate and vote on three separate pieces of legislation. Think of it as the rulebook for upcoming House floor action. It was reported out of the House Rules Committee, which is the committee responsible for deciding how bills are brought to the full House for a vote.

The Three Bills It Covers

The rule governs debate on three distinct items. First, it allows the House to consider the Senate's changes to a major government funding bill (H.R. 7148) that keeps the federal government operating through September 2026. Second, it sets up a vote on a resolution (H.J. Res. 142) that would block a Washington, D.C. tax law — specifically a D.C. Council decision to update how the city's income and business taxes align with federal tax rules. Third, it brings forward a bill (H.R. 4090) that would write into permanent law certain presidential executive orders related to domestic mining and hardrock mineral resources (things like gold, copper, and lithium).

Who Is Affected and How

Because this is a procedural rule rather than a policy bill itself, it doesn't directly affect everyday Americans on its own. However, it matters because it controls *whether and how* the three underlying bills get debated — including limiting amendments on H.R. 4090 and the D.C. resolution (known as a "closed rule"). The outcomes of those underlying bills could affect federal workers and contractors, D.C. residents and businesses, and the domestic mining industry.
