AI Summary

This resolution amends the House of Representatives rules for 2023-2024 by adding a new provision regarding legislative grants. Specifically, the resolution mandates that legislative grants appropriated in the budget bill be divided between the Senate and the House of Representatives, with each chamber handling the distribution of its allocated funds differently. For the Senate, grants will be distributed according to Senate rules or another method the Senate adopts. For the House of Representatives, the legislative grants will be equally divided among the 75 legislative districts, with each member able to direct the distribution of the grant for their specific district by sending a written communication to the Speaker of the House between July 1 and September 30 of each budget year. This change aims to create a more structured and equitable approach to allocating legislative grants within the House of Representatives.
