What it does
This bill sets rules for how Congress will debate spending on power and water for 2026. It also schedules votes on three bills that would cancel land-use plans. The Bureau of Land Management made these plans for Montana, North Dakota, and Alaska. The rules limit what changes lawmakers can make and how long they can talk.
Who it affects
The bill affects how Congress debates spending on power and water. It also affects people in Montana, North Dakota, and Alaska. The votes could change how the government manages land in those areas.
One thing to notice
Congress will vote on a spending bill and three land-plan votes at the same time. Bundling them together may reduce how much people debate each one.
