Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Homeland Security in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
Summary
H. Res. 102 is an internal House resolution that sets the authorized budget for the Committee on Homeland Security for the 119th Congress. It allows up to $20,466,000 in committee expenses, including staff salaries, and divides that total evenly between the first and second years of the Congress, with $10,233,000 available for each one-year period.
The resolution also establishes the administrative rules for how those funds may be spent. Payments must be made on vouchers authorized by the committee, signed by the committee chair, and approved under procedures set by the Committee on House Administration. The funds must be used in accordance with regulations prescribed by that committee.
Because this is a committee funding resolution rather than a policy bill, it does not change substantive homeland security law or create new programs. Its effect is limited to House operations and the financing of committee staff and activities, which support oversight, investigations, hearings, and legislative work related to homeland security matters.
There is no recorded committee debate or vote history provided, so the bill’s sentiment appears procedural and routine rather than controversial. The measure was introduced and referred to the House Committee on House Administration, and the available context does not show any opposition or notable public disagreement.
The main point of contention, if any, would likely be the size and allocation of the committee’s budget, but no specific objections are reflected in the materials provided. Overall, the resolution appears to be a standard administrative measure to fund committee operations for the Congress.
Impact
This resolution affects only House internal administration by authorizing and structuring funding for the Committee on Homeland Security. It does not amend the U.S. Code or alter homeland security policy, but it does govern how House committee funds are allocated, disbursed, and overseen for staff salaries and operating expenses.
Sentiment
The available record suggests a neutral, routine procedural sentiment. No votes, hearings, or transcript remarks are provided, and the bill appears to be a standard committee expense resolution with no visible controversy in the supplied materials.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided context. If any disagreement were to arise, it would most likely concern the level of funding, the split between the two congressional years, or oversight of expenditures, but the materials do not show any member taking a position for or against the resolution.
