HRES-682 : Still Just a Bill


This document is a House Resolution (H. Res. 682) from the 119th Congress, 1st Session, reported in the House of Representatives on September 9, 2025. It outlines the rules for considering two bills:

  1. H.R. 3838: A bill to authorize appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026 for:
    • Military activities of the Department of Defense.
    • Military construction.
    • Defense activities of the Department of Energy.
    • Prescribing military personnel strengths.
  2. H.R. 3486: A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to:
    • Increase penalties for individuals who illegally enter and reenter the United States after being removed.

H. Res. 682 specifies the terms of debate and amendment procedures for both bills, including time limits, who can offer amendments, and waiving points of order (objections to procedural errors). It also describes the order in which amendments will be considered and allows for en bloc (grouped) amendments. The resolution sets the stage for the House of Representatives to formally debate and vote on these two pieces of legislation.
