## Summary

**Structured, time-limited floor rules** to fast-track and shape debate and amendments for four bills covering appropriations, veterans benefits, and a merchant-category code rule. - House members face tight debate and amendment controls. For the energy/water and national security appropriations bills debate is capped at one hour and chairs may offer up to 10 pro forma amendments each. - Who can offer changes is limited. Amendments to the appropriations bills must come from members printed in the Rules report, may be offered only by designated Members, and some amendments can be considered en bloc and debated for 20 minutes. - Specific bill treatments are set. H.R. 1181 is considered with the Financial Services Committee's substitute amendment, and H.R. 9237 is considered with its Part C amendment treated as adopted. - Each bill's consideration moves toward a single final passage vote with one motion to recommit and certain customary points of order waived to expedite floor action.
