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 the Judiciary in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. It sets a total spending limit of not more than $31,714,000 for these expenses, which includes staff salaries. The money is split evenly into two specific time periods for the sessions. Up to $15,857,000 is available for the period from January 3, 2025, to January 3, 2026. Another $15,857,000 is available for the period from January 3, 2026, to January 3, 2027. Payments are made using vouchers authorized by the committee chairman and approved by the Committee on House Administration.
