Bill Summary
This resolution allocates funds to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. These funds cover the expenses of the Committee, including staff salaries, and are limited to a total of $18,617,085. The funds are divided into two amounts, with $9,228,599 available for expenses from January 3, 2025 to January 3, 2026, and $9,388,486 available for expenses from January 3, 2026 to January 3, 2027. These funds can only be used for expenses that are authorized by the Committee and approved by the Chairman and the Committee on House Administration. The funds must also be spent in accordance with regulations set by the Committee on House Administration.
Possible Impacts
1. The limitation of expenses for the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology could affect the hiring and retention of staff members, potentially limiting the committee's ability to effectively carry out its duties.
2. The session limitations could impact the timing and pace of the committee's work, as they are only able to incur expenses during specific periods of time. This could potentially lead to delays or rushed decision-making.
3. The use of vouchers and the requirement for approval by the Committee on House Administration could create additional bureaucratic processes and potential delays in the committee's work.
