01 — The Text

What.

  • This resolution establishes procedures for House consideration of four separate measures: H.R. 1501 (mineral production activities under the FAST Act), H.R. 9436 (North Atlantic right whale regulations), H.Res. 1490 (socialism condemnation), and H.R. 4795 (higher education funding conditions related to Israel boycotts).
  • The resolution provides for one hour of general debate on each measure under a closed rule format.
  • Motions to recommit are permitted on H.R. 1501, H.R. 9436, and H.R. 4795, but not on H.Res. 1490.
  • The resolution also addresses procedures relating to motions to suspend the rules, though specific details are not elaborated in the official summary.
02 — The Stakes

So what?

  • The closed rule limits amendments; members can only debate the bills as written or recommend recommittal on three of the four measures.
  • Passage of this resolution (210-208 on September 1, 2026) established the framework allowing floor consideration of these four substantively distinct proposals.
  • The resolution itself does not enact substantive policy; it only determines procedural terms for debating the underlying bills and resolution.
03 — The Path

Now what?

  • The resolution passed the House by recorded vote 210-208 on September 1, 2026.
  • Motion to reconsider was laid on the table without objection on September 1, 2026.
  • The official summary does not indicate the status of the four underlying measures (H.R. 1501, H.R. 9436, H.Res. 1490, H.R. 4795) or identify scheduled floor votes on them.
