  • Status: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
  • Introduced: February 4, 2025

Purpose and intent

H.Res. 91 serves to authorize the funding necessary for the operations of the House Committee on the Budget during the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. The resolution allocates a specific spending cap to cover the committee’s expenses, including staff salaries, within the House of Representatives’ budget accounts.

Key provisions

  • Establishes the funding authority for the Committee on the Budget for the 119th Congress.
  • Authorizes expenses, including all staff salaries, to be paid out of the applicable accounts of the House of Representatives for committee salaries and expenses.
  • Sets a spending cap of not more than $11,990,000 for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.

Financial impact

  • Total authorized amount: Up to $11,990,000 for the 119th Congress.
  • Funds to be drawn from the House’s committee salaries and expenses accounts.
  • The language indicates a hard cap, meaning actual expenditures cannot exceed $11,990,000 under this resolution.

Affected parties and scope

  • Affected entity: The House Committee on the Budget (its staff and operational costs).
  • Finance oversight: The funding is appropriated from the House’s internal budget accounts, subject to House Administration oversight.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Next steps: As of introduction, the bill has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration for consideration. No further actions are listed within the provided information.
  • Effective period: The authorization applies to the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress (2025–2027), aligning with the standard two-year congressional term.

Notes

  • This is a resolution, not standalone appropriations legislation. It allocates funding within the House’s internal budget to support the Budget Committee’s operations, including staffing costs, for the 119th Congress.
  • The measure requires committee action and, if advanced, potential floor consideration and votes within the House.
