Providing for disposition of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 7147) making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.
Introduced March 27, 2026 · Last action March 27, 2026
Plain English Summary
H. Res. 1142 is a procedural resolution that allows the House to accept a Senate amendment to H.R. 7147, the consolidated appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026, and to modify that amendment with language from Rules Committee Print 119-21. This resolution does not itself allocate money or create policy—it is a parliamentary tool to move the appropriations bill forward with House modifications.
Who benefits
The specific beneficiaries cannot be determined from this resolution alone, as it is purely procedural and references the substantive appropriations bill (H.R. 7147) and an unprovided committee print (119-21). Whoever receives funding in H.R. 7147 and its modifications would benefit—typically federal agencies, defense contractors, healthcare providers receiving Medicare/Medicaid funds, infrastructure projects, and other programs funded through appropriations.
Who pays / loses
The specific fiscal impacts cannot be determined from this resolution, as it is a procedural measure. The actual costs and beneficiaries depend on the substance of H.R. 7147 and the modifications in Rules Committee Print 119-21, which are not provided in this document.
Funding & Lobbying Interests
This is a procedural resolution with no direct financial provisions. However, the underlying bill H.R. 7147 (consolidated appropriations for FY 2026) will direct federal spending. Rep. Fischbach's 2024 campaign contributions show largest donations from 'Other' sources ($109,436), followed by Finance ($14,652), Energy ($8,663), Transportation ($6,600), and Technology ($5,800), with zero PAC contributions. Industries with traditional stakes in appropriations bills—defense, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, finance—typically lobby for favorable allocations.
Political Impact
Affected Groups
All federal agencies and their employees; contractors and vendors who supply goods and services to federal agencies; beneficiaries of federal programs funded through appropriations (Medicare recipients, Medicaid beneficiaries, military personnel, federal workers, infrastructure workers); and taxpayers funding the appropriations.
Political Subtext
Proponents view this as routine procedural business necessary to finalize a fiscal year 2026 spending bill. Critics may object to specific appropriations contained in H.R. 7147 or the modifications in the Rules Committee print, though this resolution itself is non-controversial procedurally. Without access to the substantive bill and committee print, no independent assessment of their merits is possible.
Real-World Stakes
This resolution determines whether the House accepts the Senate's appropriations framework (with House modifications) or sends the bill back to conference. If adopted, the modified appropriations will fund federal operations for FY 2026. If rejected, the House and Senate would need to negotiate further, risking government funding gaps or continuing resolutions.
