Bill > HRes316

This Resolution, passed by the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, appropriates funds for the operational expenses of various House committees, including staff salaries. It specifies the total amount allocated to each committee for the entire Congress, and then breaks down these amounts into limits for the first session (January 3, 2021, to January 3, 2022) and the second session (January 3, 2022, to January 3, 2023). A key provision requires committees to present testimony to the Committee on House Administration regarding their use of funds in the first session before accessing funds in the second session, unless waived. The Committee on House Administration, which oversees these expenditures, also has the authority to approve payments, prescribe regulations for spending, and manage a $4 million reserve fund for unanticipated committee expenses, with specific allocations for each session. Furthermore, this committee can adjust the allocated amounts to comply with deficit control laws or changes in appropriations.
