Show full summary
- Lawmakers: Makes it out of order in either chamber to consider any reconciliation bill, reconciliation resolution, amendment, or conference report that provides budget authority for hostilities against Iran unless Congress issues a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force.
- Executive branch and military planners: Bars the reconciliation route for funding offensive operations, strikes, covert actions, sustained engagements, or support to foreign proxy forces acting at U.S. direction or with U.S. material support.
- Budget process: Pushes funding for combat activities against Iran out of the fast-track reconciliation vehicle, requiring separate authorization or appropriations for such spending.

Block reconciliation funding for Iran
If enacted, the bill would make it out of order to use reconciliation bills or certain budget resolutions to provide budget authority for hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It would only allow such funding if Congress has passed a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. The bill would define "hostilities" to include offensive operations, strikes, covert actions, or sustained armed engagements against Iranian forces, territory, or government institutions. It would also cover hostilities carried out by proxy forces—foreign military, paramilitary, or irregular groups acting at U.S. direction, request, or with U.S. material support—and would take effect upon enactment.
