Funding for House committees
Sponsored by Bryan Steil
What the bill does
This resolution sets the budgets for House committees for the 119th Congress. It lists exactly how much each committee can spend on staff salaries and other expenses for the two-year session. The money comes from House accounts and is split between the first and second year. A $4 million reserve fund is also created for unexpected costs.
The stakes
Taxpayers fund these committee budgets, so the amounts affect how much oversight and lawmaking Congress can do. The spending limits also influence which issues get attention and how many staff each committee can hire.
