Corrects wording in a Homeland Security funding bill.
House of Representatives (no specific sponsor listed).
Passed the House, now considered final.
This House Resolution makes a specific, technical correction to the language of H.R. 7147 and H.R. 7148, which are bills related to funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Since it is a House Resolution that has been 'Engrossed in House', it means it has passed the House of Representatives and is now considered complete within the House. House Resolutions do not go to the Senate or the President for approval.
Introduced Jan 22, 2026
This House Resolution was passed by the House of Representatives on January 22, 2026, as indicated by its 'Engrossed in House' status. For a House Resolution, passing the House is the final step; it does not move to the Senate or the President to become law. It officially records the House's decision on the matter.
This resolution clarifies a specific phrase in section 230(b) of H.R. 7147 (and H.R. 7148). It changes 'in this Act or any other act' to 'for the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act'. This means that certain funding rules are now more precisely limited to the Department of Homeland Security and its past and present funding bills, rather than broadly applying to 'any other act'. This is a technical correction and does not alter the overall funding levels, specific programs, or the day-to-day operations of the Department of Homeland Security or public services.
Supporters Say
This resolution ensures accuracy and clarity in critical legislative language.
Critics Say
There is no specific opposition to technical, procedural corrections like this one.
House Resolutions that make technical corrections to legislative language, such as this one, are generally non-controversial. Supporters would argue that precise wording is essential for proper legal interpretation and implementation of funding bills. There are typically no vocal critics for such procedural adjustments, as they aim to fix errors rather than introduce new policy.
