A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution provides funding for the expenses of the Committee on Rules in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. It sets a total spending limit of not more than $8,544,397.95, which covers staff salaries and other committee expenses. The resolution splits this money into two equal caps for specific time periods. The first period runs from January 3, 2025, to January 3, 2026, with up to $4,272,198.97 available. The second period runs from January 3, 2026, to January 3, 2027, with the remaining $4,272,198.97 available. Payments require authorized vouchers signed by the committee chairman and approved as directed by the Committee on House Administration.
