Yea

House set debate limits for three bills on policing, cables and minerals

AI-assisted summary

The resolution set up House consideration of bills concerning federal firearms rules and less-lethal weapons, undersea cables in marine sanctuaries, and supplies of critical energy resources including minerals.

Exclude community project funding from appropriations restrictions

AI-assisted summary

The amendment would have exempted Community Project Funding, also called congressionally directed spending, specified in Division B from a restriction in the appropriations bill. The House rejected the amendment, 136–291; this vote decided only whether to add that exception, not whether to pass the bill.

Context: The amendment text changes an exception on page 3; the available description does not identify the restriction in full. The bill summary is for the version introduced January 20, so it does not establish the final bill text at this vote.

Bar funding for vehicle kill-switch requirements

AI-assisted summary

The amendment would have barred funds in the appropriations act from being used to implement section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which the amendment’s stated purpose identifies as including requirements for vehicle “kill switch” technology. The House rejected the amendment, so this funding restriction was not added by this vote. The vote was on the amendment, not passage of the appropriations act.

Context: The available summary of H.R. 7148 describes the introduced version; it does not establish the full bill text at this vote. The amendment text itself bars funding to implement section 24220.

Set up appropriations bill consideration and repeal Senate data rule

The amendment changed the House rule for considering H.R. 7147, a fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill. It also made an amendment repealing section 213—which concerned Senate notification requirements for legal process involving disclosures of Senate data—part of the bill for consideration.
