Us Congress House Bill HR153

Introduced
2/24/23  

Caption

Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs in the One Hundred Eighteenth Congress.

Impact

The bill outlines two separate periods for fund allocation. For the fiscal year 2023-2024, it stipulates that up to $5,271,175 will be available for expenses incurred, while for 2024-2025, another $5,482,022 is designated for expenses. This structure reflects a controlled approach to fiscal management within governmental committees related to veterans' affairs, potentially influencing how resources are distributed and utilized across the committee's activities.

Summary

HR153 is a resolution focused on providing specific monetary amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs during the One Hundred Eighteenth Congress. The bill documents an allocation of up to $10,753,197 to cover all committee costs, which includes staff salaries and other operational expenses. This financial provision is proposed to ensure that the Committee can function effectively within given budget limitations.

Contention

While the bill itself appears straightforward in its purpose of funding, it may face points of contention regarding the sufficiency of the funding allocated. Critics could argue that the amount may not meet the growing needs of veterans or adequately support committee initiatives. Additionally, the methods prescribed for expenditure, including the requirement of vouchers and compliance with regulations set by the Committee on House Administration, could be scrutinized for accountability and transparency concerns.
