Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This resolution sets the total spending limit for the House Committee on Ways and Means for the 119th Congress and divides that total between the two yearly sessions. It authorizes paying committee staff salaries and other committee expenses from the House committee accounts. Payments must be made on vouchers signed by the committee chairman and follow rules set by the Committee on House Administration. It governs internal House budgeting and does not create public law.
This is a simple House resolution acted on by the House of Representatives only; it does not go to the President and does not have the force of law beyond House internal procedures.
This resolution authorizes up to $30,290,000 for the Committee on Ways and Means for the 119th Congress, split into $14,963,888 for the first session (Jan 3, 2025–Jan 3, 2026) and $15,326,112 for the second session (Jan 3, 2026–Jan 3, 2027).
Payments require vouchers authorized by the Committee and approved under procedures directed by the Committee on House Administration, and expenditures must follow that Committee's regulations.
Not intended as a public law; very likely to be adopted within the House but does not become statute enacted by both chambers and the President.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a compact, well-specified administrative resolution that sets a total and session-by-session funding limit for the Committee on Ways and Means and prescribes basic payment and regulatory oversight procedures.

Treats the resolution as routine and generally appropriate, since it sets clear dollar limits and procedural controls.
Will favor it if accompanied by straightforward oversight and adherence to House Administration rules.
Will accept the necessity of funding the committee but is wary of the total amount and potential partisan or wasteful spending.
