Show full summary
- For S. 1383, H.R. 2189, H.R. 261, and H.R. 3617 it adopts committee or Rules Committee substitute text, waives points of order, treats each bill as read, limits debate to one hour, and allows one motion to recommit. It also specifies which committee leaders control debate for each bill.
- Waives the House rule that normally requires a two thirds vote to consider certain continuing appropriations resolutions reported through Feb 13, 2026. This eases floor consideration of a FY2026 funding measure reported by that date.
- Revises an instruction so the measure takes effect on the date of enactment and applies to Federal elections held on or after that date.

Faster House votes on stopgap funding
The resolution waives the rule that needs a two‑thirds vote for same‑day consideration of Rules reports. It applies only to resolutions about continuing funding for the year ending September 30, 2026. The waiver starts now and ends on the legislative day of February 13, 2026. This speeds House action to keep government funding moving.
Election rule starts on enactment date
The resolution sets the effective date for a related election change. That change takes effect on the date this section is enacted. It applies to Federal elections held on or after that date. Candidates, voters, and election officials use the new rule for those elections.

Under this resolution, the House takes up a bill to end extra permits for undersea fiber‑optic cables in national marine sanctuaries. The bill covers installing, running, fixing, or removing cables that already have Federal or State approval. The bill targets duplicate approvals for cable owners and contractors.
