Summary of H.Res. 84 – Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure in the 119th Congress

Overview and purpose

H.Res. 84 is a House resolution that authorizes the expenses for the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress (the 119th Congress, generally 2025–2027). The resolution specifies the total funding available to cover the committee’s expenses, including staff salaries, to be drawn from the House of Representatives’ designated accounts for committee salaries and expenses.

What the bill would do

  • Sets a total funding cap for the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for the 119th Congress.
  • Specifically authorizes up to $23,290,035 to cover the committee’s expenses, including all staff salaries.
  • Funds would be drawn from the applicable House accounts designated for committee salaries and expenses.

Key provisions and changes

  • Amount authorized: Not more than $23,290,035 for the 119th Congress.
  • Scope: Includes “the expenses of all staff salaries” and other related committee expenses, funded from the House’s committee salaries and expenses accounts.
  • Timeframe: Applies to the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress (roughly January 2025 through January 2027).

Who would be affected

  • Primary beneficiaries: The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and its current and future staff, whose salaries and related expenses would be financed under the authorized amount.
  • Broader impact: The authorization uses House administrative accounts, potentially influencing the committee’s staffing levels, operations, and capacity to conduct hearings, markups, investigations, and other oversight activities.

Legislative status and timeline

  • Introduced: January 31, 2025.
  • Status: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
  • Next steps: The House Administration Committee would consider the resolution; if approved, it could advance to the full House for debate and passage, then to the Senate and, if enacted, to the President for signature. As a resolution, it authorizes funding rather than providing appropriations from the Treasury.

Sponsorship

  • Primary sponsor: Rep. Sam Graves.
  • Cosponsor: Rep. Rick Larsen.
  • Indicates bipartisan sponsorship.

Notes

  • This type of resolution is a routine annual instrument to provide funding authorization for a standing committee’s operating expenses, separate from the annual appropriations process. The specific dollar amount and the inclusion of all staff salaries are the notable substantive details in this measure.
