Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4213) making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

H.Res. 1096 is a procedural resolution that would establish the terms for the House to consider H.R. 4213, which contains funding appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a procedural tool to govern how the full House chamber would debate and vote on the underlying appropriations bill.

The resolution was introduced on March 3, 2026, and as of March 18, 2026, a discharge petition was filed to bring it to the House floor for consideration. This procedural step suggests the resolution may not have advanced through the normal committee process. If enacted, this resolution would simply allow the House to proceed with consideration of the DHS appropriations bill, but the actual funding decisions would depend on passage of H.R. 4213 itself.
