Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This resolution sets the spending limit for the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for the 119th Congress. It authorizes a total of up to $18,617,085 and divides that total between the two yearly sessions. The funds come from the House committee salaries and expenses accounts and must be spent under rules set by the Committee on House Administration, with payments made on vouchers signed by the committee chair. It is an internal House budgeting action and does not create law outside the House.
This is a simple House resolution that only needs passage in the House; it is not sent to the President and does not have the force of law beyond the House's internal budget authority.
This House resolution allocates up to $18,617,085 for the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for the 119th Congress.
It splits the total into two session caps: $9,228,599 for the first year and $9,388,486 for the second.
Payments require vouchers authorized by the Committee and signed by its Chairman, and expenditures must follow Committee on House Administration regulations.
Internal House resolution is likely to be adopted internally but does not become public law via Senate/President, so chance of 'becoming law' is near zero.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a straightforward procedural/agenda-setting measure that clearly allocates committee operating funds for the 119th Congress, sets session-by-session limits, and prescribes basic voucher and regulatory controls.
