## Summary

**Sets strict House rules for how three bills will be debated and amended.** This resolution frames consideration of H.R. 8595 (national security and State Department appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027), H.R. 9237 (changes to veterans benefits and VA administration), and H.R. 1181 (limits on merchant category codes for firearms retailers). It also directs that the text of S. 1383 be added into H.R. 8595 during engrossment. - Veterans: H.R. 9237 is set up to be considered with an amendment already adopted from the Rules Committee and aims to improve veterans' benefits and the administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs. This makes changes to VA policy the subject of expedited House action. - Firearms retailers and payment networks: H.R. 1181 will be considered with its committee substitute adopted and would prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring or assigning merchant category codes that single out firearms retailers from general-merchandise or sporting-goods retailers. - House members and floor procedure: Debate on the appropriations bill is limited to one hour. Amendments are largely limited to those printed in the Rules report, en bloc packages, and up to 10 pro forma amendments each for the committee chair and ranking member. Most points of order are waived and the previous question is ordered to final passage with one motion to recommit.
