ANNOUNCEMENT

H.R. 8800 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027

Dear Colleague:

The Committee on Rules may meet the week of June 29th to provide for floor consideration of H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027.

If a Member wishes to offer an amendment for consideration, they must submit a searchable electronic copy of the amendment, which should be provided by the Office of Legislative Counsel (HOLC), via the Rules Committee's website by 5:00 PM on Thursday, June 18, 2026. Please note that staff must be on the House network, either physically or remotely via virtual private network (VPN), in order to access the online submission form. Given the anticipated number of submitted amendments and revisions, and the anticipated legislative schedule, Members are strongly advised to submit amendments by the deadline.

Members should draft their amendments to the text of Rules Committee Print 119-33 , showing the text of H.R. 8800, as ordered reported by the Committee on Armed Services, which is available on the Rules Committee website.

Members should use HOLC to ensure that their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format. Members are advised to read the Office of Legislative Counsel's special guidance for preparing NDAA amendments this year.

Members should attempt to draft their amendments with actual legislative language to ensure the Committee is able to properly review and assess amendment submissions. Members should not submit amendment "placeholder text", blank attachments, or legislative text which is not consistent with the intent of the amendment. Amendments which do not comply with this directive will not be reviewed, even if revised.

Additionally, Members should check with the Office of the Parliamentarian and the Committee on the Budget to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House and the Congressional Budget Act. The Rules Committee will not make in order amendments that are in violation of House rules or budget rules.

If you have any questions, please contact Ashlee Anderson of the Committee staff at [email protected] or at 202-225-9191.

Sincerely,

Virginia Foxx

Chairwoman
