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 Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the 119th Congress. It sets a total spending limit of not more than $19,240,928 for the entire Congress, which covers staff salaries and other committee expenses. The resolution divides this money into two specific time periods for the sessions. The first period runs from January 3, 2025, to January 3, 2026, with up to $9,538,983 available. The second period runs from January 3, 2026, to January 3, 2027, with up to $9,701,945 available. Payments require authorized vouchers signed by the committee chairman and approved by the Committee on House Administration. Finally, all funds must be spent following regulations set by the Committee on House Administration.
