Summary
What This Bill Does
This House Resolution provides $11,990,000 in funding for the House Committee on the Budget to cover its operating expenses during the 119th Congress (2025-2027). The funding covers staff salaries and all committee operations for the two-year congressional term, split evenly between the two annual sessions.
Who Benefits and How
The Committee on the Budget and its staff benefit directly by receiving nearly $12 million to fund their operations, including employee salaries and operational expenses. This enables the committee to carry out its constitutional duties in developing the federal budget.
Who Bears the Burden and How
U.S. taxpayers bear the minimal cost of this appropriation, though at roughly $6 million per year, the burden is negligible in the context of the overall federal budget. Committee staff and leadership face modest administrative requirements to process vouchers through the Committee on House Administration and comply with spending regulations.
