A resolution to amend the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives.
This bill amends House rules to require transparency and compliance for appropriations bills that include "legislatively directed spending" (funds specifically directed to a recipient). It prohibits voting on such bills if the recipient is a municipality or university with policies that "subvert immigration enforcement" or refuse to comply with federal immigration measures. Municipalities/universities must submit documentation proving their policies align with federal immigration law and provide certification from authorized leaders. The rule applies to all such spending items except those for disaster relief, state agencies, or competitive funding processes.
