Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8800) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2027 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8595) making appropriations for national security, Department of State, and related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8884) to amend title II of the Social Security Act to reauthorize demonstration authority for the disability insurance program; providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 1383) commemorating the one-year anniversary of the enactment of the Working Families Tax Cuts; and for other purposes.
This bill, HR1398, is designed to facilitate the consideration of several other legislative proposals. Specifically, it aims to authorize appropriations for the fiscal year 2027 for the military activities of the Department of Defense, military construction, and defense activities of the Department of Energy. It also prescribes military personnel strengths for that fiscal year. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for appropriations for national security, the Department of State, and related programs for the same fiscal year. Furthermore, it seeks to amend the Social Security Act to reauthorize demonstration authority for the disability insurance program. Lastly, it commemorates the one-year anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cuts.
The bill would primarily affect government agencies involved in defense and national security funding, as well as those managing the Social Security Act. The intended impact is to ensure that the necessary funds are allocated for military and defense activities, national security, and social programs like disability insurance. The resolution itself does not directly impact the general public but aims to streamline the legislative process for the related bills.
As of June 30, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and placed on the House Calendar. It failed to pass with a recorded vote of 198 to 224. A motion to reconsider was made but later postponed. The bill has not advanced further as of the latest update.
