AI Summary
This resolution, titled the "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Resolution," establishes a reduction in the Members' Representational Allowance (MRA) for House Representatives in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Specifically, the resolution mandates that each Member of the House will receive an MRA equal to their fiscal year 2025 allowance amount, minus $100,000. The Members' Representational Allowance is a fund provided to each congressional representative to cover official expenses such as staff salaries, office expenses, travel, and constituent communications. By reducing the MRA by $100,000 for two consecutive fiscal years, the resolution aims to implement a cost-saving measure for congressional operations. The reduction will apply uniformly to all House Members, regardless of their district or individual circumstances, and will take effect for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
