Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the use of Federal funds to pay for a subscription to the Wall Street Journal for Members of Congress, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "Stop Unnecessary Expenditures Act" (or "SUE Act"), prohibits the use of any federal funds to pay for Wall Street Journal subscriptions for Members of Congress, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, as well as for congressional committees. The prohibition will take effect in fiscal year 2025 and continue for all subsequent fiscal years. By preventing the use of taxpayer money to purchase Wall Street Journal subscriptions, the bill aims to reduce government spending and potentially eliminate what its sponsors may view as an unnecessary expense for congressional offices. The legislation is straightforward in its approach, simply stating that no federal funds can be used to purchase these newspaper subscriptions for congressional offices, regardless of any other existing laws that might currently allow such expenditures.
