House Rule for DHS Funding Bill

What This Bill Does

This resolution sets up House floor consideration of H.R. 4213, the appropriations bill funding the Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2026. It governs how the House will debate and amend the spending measure before a final vote.

For ordinary Americans, this matters because DHS funds border security, disaster response, cybersecurity, the Coast Guard, TSA, and other homeland security functions. The rule itself does not spend money, but it is a key step that determines whether the House can move the DHS funding bill forward and what changes lawmakers may try to make.

Who This Bill Affects

For the general public, this is a procedural step that could shape how federal homeland security funding is debated and ultimately allocated, affecting areas like airport screening, disaster preparedness, border operations, and cybersecurity.
