Bill > SRes497

This resolution permits Senators, Senate officers, and Senate employees to collect non-monetary donations such as clothing, toys, food, and housewares from other Senate personnel within Senate buildings during the holiday season, specifically for charitable purposes that support people in need or members of the Armed Forces and their families. The resolution allows these individuals to collaborate with nonprofit organizations to help deliver the collected donations, provided that such activities do not violate existing Senate rules, regulations, or federal law. The authority granted by this resolution is temporary and will expire at the end of the first session of the 119th Congress, ensuring that this charitable collection activity is a time-limited exception to standard Senate building protocols. By enabling direct donation collection within Senate buildings, the resolution creates an organized and convenient way for Senate personnel to contribute to charitable causes during the holiday season.
