Senate Committee Expenditures Resolutions, 113th Congress, and Funding Authorizations
Background
The Senate biennial committee funding process applies to all Senate committees except
Appropriations1 and Ethics,2 which have permanent authorizations for their staff and operating
expenses. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration has jurisdiction over committee
funding resolutions and issues regulations governing committee funding and staff. Committee
funding and staff are also regulated by Senate rules, especially Rule XXVI, clause 9, and Rule
XXVII, as well as by statute. The funds authorized and allocated by resolution are appropriated in
legislative branch appropriations acts.
Under Senate Rule XXVI, clause 9, each Senate committee (except Appropriations and Ethics) is
required to report a funding resolution providing for its expenses for March 1 of that year through
February 28 of the following year. The Senate took several steps in 1999 to move to a biennial
funding process that more clearly reflects a fiscal year orientation. In subsequent funding
resolutions, the aggregate authorization for each committee is apportioned among three calendar
periods—from March 1 to September 30 of the first year of a Congress, from October 1 to
September 30 of the following year, and from October 1 to the following February 28. This
permits the Senate to identify the amounts authorized for each fiscal year and the subsequent
appropriations required.
On March 5, 2013, the Senate adopted by voice vote S.Res. 64, authorizing expenditures by
Senate committees for the period March 1, 2013, through September 30, 2013. On October 3,
2013, the Senate adopted by unanimous consent S.Res. 253, authorizing expenditures by Senate
committees for the period October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014, and for the period
October 1, 2014, through February 28, 2015.
Table 1 provides the requested and the authorized levels of funding for committees for the 113th
Congress. Table 2 through Table 8 provide committee funding requests and authorizations for
Senate committees in the 106th through 112th Congresses. Table 9 through Table 15 provide the
same information, calculated in constant (January 2013) dollars.
1 P.L. 79-601, Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, Section 202(b), 80 Stat. 834.
2 S.Res. 290, 96th Congress, adopted November 29, 1979; and S.Res. 425, 97th Congress, adopted August 12, 1982.
