Most Recent Actions: 119th Congress House Committee Funding Resolution
As in previous Congresses, early in the 119th Congress, numerous resolutions were introduced "Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on ____ in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress."1 These individual committee funding resolutions typically contain a section with the requested overall funding level for the entire Congress, followed by a section with requested session limitations, as well as sections on vouchers and regulations. These resolutions were referred to the Committee on House Administration (CHA).
The CHA held hearings on funding requests from the House committees on February 11 and 12, 2025.2
On March 6, 2025, the chairman of CHA introduced H.Res. 198, an omnibus committee funding resolution, which was referred to that committee. CHA held a markup of the resolution on March 11, and ordered it to be reported, as amended, by voice vote (H.Rept. 119-17).
The House agreed to the resolution, as amended (H.Amdt. 9, offered by Chairman Steil), without objection on March 24, 2025.
The resolution authorized a total of $393.3 million for the 119th Congress, including $194.4 million for the first session, $198.9 million for the second session, and $2.0 million for the reserve fund for each session for unanticipated expenses.
118th Congress Initial House Committee Funding Resolution and Committee Resolutions Allocating Funds from the Reserve Fund
As in previous Congresses, early in the 118th Congress, numerous resolutions were introduced "Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on ____ in the One Hundred Eighteenth Congress."3 These individual committee funding resolutions typically contain a section with the requested overall funding level for the entire Congress, followed by a section with requested session limitations, as well as sections on vouchers and regulations. These resolutions were referred to the CHA.
The CHA held hearings on funding requests from the House committees on February 28 and March 1, 2023.4
On March 7, 2023, the chairman of CHA introduced H.Res. 197, an omnibus committee funding resolution, which was referred to that committee. CHA held a markup of the resolution on March 8, and ordered it to be reported, as amended, by voice vote (H.Rept. 118-8). The House agreed to the resolution, as amended (H.Amdt. 110, offered by Chairman Steil), without objection on March 10 (H.Res. 197).
The resolution authorized a total of $383.2 million for the 118th Congress, including $179.7 million for the first session, $185.5 million for the second session, and $9.0 million for the reserve fund each session for unanticipated expenses.
During the 118th Congress, CHA also agreed to three committee resolutions allocating funds from the reserve fund:5
- Committee Resolution 118-26, which provided $4,500,000 for the Committee on the Judiciary;
- Committee Resolution 118-29, which provided $375,000 for the Committee on House Administration; and
- Committee Resolution 118-35, which provided $450,000 for the Committee on Education and the Workforce and $1,080,000 for the Committee on House Administration.
117th Congress Initial House Committee Funding Resolution and Subsequent Adjustment
In keeping with historical practice, during the early months of the 117th Congress, numerous resolutions were introduced "Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on ____ in the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress."6 These individual committee funding resolutions typically contain a section with the requested overall funding level for the entire Congress, followed by a section with requested session limitations, as well as sections on vouchers and regulations. These resolutions were referred to the Committee on House Administration.
CHA held a hearing on committee funding requests on March 12, 2021. All committees were invited to testify, but committees submitting a bipartisan request were not required to appear. The vice chair and ranking member of the Committee on the Judiciary appeared to testify regarding their committee's request.
The chair of the CHA introduced H.Res. 316 on April 14, 2021, and it was referred to that committee. The CHA met on April 15 to consider the resolution and reported it out by voice vote (H.Rept. 117-18). It was adopted by the House on April 20 (as Section 4 of H.Res. 330). The resolution authorized a total of $301.2 million for House committees for the 117th Congress, including $150.2 million for the first session and $150.9 million for the second session (this total does not include $4.0 million for the reserve fund, including $1.5 million in the first session and $2.5 million in the second session).
Prior to the provision of funding pursuant to H.Res. 316, committees operated pursuant to interim funding. Interim funding has automatically been provided from January 3 through March 31 in each odd-numbered year in House rules for many years.7 The interim funding period was extended through April 22, 2021, pursuant to Section 10 of H.Res. 233.8
Committee Resolutions
The Committee on House Administration allocated funding from the reserve fund when it agreed, by committee poll, to Committee Resolution 117-16 in June-July 2021, Committee Resolution 117-18 in October 2021, and Committee Resolution 117-21 in June 2022.9
Consideration of a Second Resolution (H.Res. 1035)
The FY2022 legislative branch appropriations act (P.L. 117-103; enacted March 15, 2022) provided $167.1 million (+21.0%) for House committees (other than the Committee on Appropriations).
Subsequent adjustments for individual committee authorization levels were made pursuant to H.Res. 1035 (117th Congress), which was considered as Section 2 of H.Res. 1065 (agreed to on April 28, 2022).
In the report accompanying H.Res. 1035 (H.Rept. 117-291), the Committee on House Administration included a table with revised funding levels for the 117th Congress and stated that they "were neither anticipated nor available at the time the Committee reported House Resolution 316, the primary expense resolution."
House Committee Funding: Background and Process
Contemporary funding for House committees (except for the Committee on Appropriations) follows a two-step process of authorization and appropriation. Operating budgets for all standing and select committees of the House continued or created at the beginning of a new Congress (except for the Committee on Appropriations) are authorized biennially pursuant to an omnibus committee funding resolution, and appropriations are included in the legislative branch appropriations bill. A comparison of the timing of authorizations and appropriations is shown in Figure 1.

Authorization
Pursuant to House Rule X, clause 6, the Committee on House Administration (CHA) reports an omnibus, biennial "primary expense resolution" to cover the expenses of each standing and select committee, except the Appropriations Committee.10
The resolution is based in part on committee requests for funds to cover their expenses for the two years of a Congress.11 The budgetary requests include estimated salary needs for staff; costs of consulting services; communications expenses including certain printing, postage, or website costs; office equipment and supply costs; and some travel costs, particularly for domestic travel, for committee members and staff. Some costs, such as government contributions for pension and insurance contributions for committee employees, student loan repayment, and transit subsidies, are not included in committee budgets but are provided for in other funds appropriated for the House.12
Some House committees discuss and approve their proposed budgets at committee organization or business meetings. Individual committee chairs typically introduce a House resolution to provide a committee with the requisite funds for the two years of the Congress. These individual resolutions are then referred to the CHA, which may hold a public hearing on the committee's request. The chair and the ranking minority member from each committee may testify at these hearings, although in some years, committees that submitted a bipartisan budget request have not been required to appear before the committee.13
The chair of CHA then typically introduces an omnibus funding resolution, which, after its referral to the CHA, typically serves as the legislative vehicle for a full committee markup. The measure is then considered by the House.
Figure 2 shows the aggregate committee funding authorization level since 1995, in both nominal and constant dollars.

Source: Congressional Research Service, based on resolutions authorizing funds for House committees. Constant dollars based on Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor), annual average for 1995-2024. Calculation for 2025 based on an average of monthly CPI data available at the time of publication (January-July). Note: The aggregate 2022 authorization includes the revised levels adopted in H.Res. 1035, 117th Congress. According to the Committee on House Administration's Committees' Congressional Handbook, "Committee funds are available for services provided and expenses incurred from January 3 of one year through January 2 of the following year." The authorizing resolutions do not include the House Appropriations Committee, and that committee is not represented in this figure. Resolutions for the 105th and 106th Congresses did not specify allocations for the reserve fund by session, and those authorizations are not included in the total for those years ($7.9 million for the 105th Congress and $3.0 million for the 106th Congress). The table also does not reflect any broader changes to the account (e.g., centralization of certain employee benefits). |
Appropriations
Appropriations for House committees are provided in the annual legislative branch appropriations bill. Funding provided in the annual appropriations act generally remains available until the end of a Congress.14
Funding is contained in the appropriation heading "committee employees," which typically comprises two subheadings.
The first subheading contains funds for personnel and nonpersonnel expenses of House committees, except the Appropriations Committee, as authorized by the House in a committee expense resolution.
- The FY2025 act (P.L. 119-4) continued the FY2023 and FY2024 funding level of $180.6 million.
- The House requested $203.2 million (+$22.6 million, or +12.5%) for FY2026.
- The FY2026 House-reported bill (H.R. 4249) would provide $184.8 million (+$4.2 million, +2.3%).
The second subheading contains funds for the personnel and nonpersonnel expenses of the Committee on Appropriations.
- The FY2025 act (P.L. 119-4) continued the FY2023 and FY2024 funding level of $31.3 million.
- The House requested $33.6 million (+7.5%) for FY2026.
- The House-reported FY2026 bill (H.R. 4249) would continue the level provided since FY2023.
Figure 3 shows funding for "Standing Committees, Special and Select" since FY1996, in both nominal and constant dollars.
Division of Funding Between the Majority and Minority
Clause 6(d) of House Rule X requires that "the minority party (be) treated fairly in the appointment" of committee staff employed pursuant to such expense resolutions. In addition, House Rule X, clause 9, addresses the appointment of minority staff. In recent years, the House majority leadership has encouraged its committee leaders to provide the minority with one-third of the committee staff and resources authorized in the biennial funding resolutions. Statements made by the chair and ranking member of the Committee on House Administration at the beginning of its committee funding review in recent Congresses indicate a general consensus that all House committees should provide at least one-third minority staffing.
Guidelines, Sources of Regulations, and Spending Disclosure
The use of committee funds is subject to chamber rules, law, and regulations promulgated by the Committee on House Administration, the House Communications Standards Commission, and the Ethics Committee, among other House entities. These regulations may be found in a wide variety of sources, including statute, House rules, committee resolutions, the Committees' Congressional Handbook,15 the Communications Standards Manual,16 the House Ethics Manual,17 "Dear Colleague" letters, and formal and informal guidance. Committee funds may only be used to support the conduct of official committee business, and they may not be used for personal or campaign purposes, or comingled with funds appropriated to any other source of official funds, such as the Members' Representational Allowance (MRA).
Information on individual committee spending is published quarterly in the Statements of Disbursement of the House.18

Source: House committee funding resolutions in the 118th Congress; H.Res. 197.
Notes: H.Res. 5 (118th Congress) changed the names of two committees: the Committee on Education and the Workforce (formerly Committee on Education and Labor) and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability (formerly Committee on Oversight and Reform).
a. These levels reflect allocations from the reserve fund made pursuant to Committee Resolution 118-26, which provided $4,500,000 for the Committee on the Judiciary; Committee Resolution 118-29, which provided $375,000 for the Committee on House Administration; and Committee Resolution 118-35, which provided $450,000 for the Committee on Education and the Workforce and $1,080,000 for the Committee on House Administration. The row for the reserve fund, however, was not adjusted and reflects the original amount stated in H.Res. 197.
b. The "Difference" column represents the value of the total "Authorization" minus the total "Request." A negative number indicates the authorization for the Congress was less than the request.
c. The report to accompany H.Res. 197 (H.Rept. 118-8) states: "The amount provided to the Committee on Foreign Affairs includes $696,080 ($348,040 for each session) to provide funding for the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, and $476,700 ($238,350 for each session) for the House Democracy Partnership."

Sources: H.Res. 115, 113th Congress; House Administration, Committee Resolution 113-7.
Note: No individual committee funding resolutions were introduced during the 113th Congress.
a. Committee Resolution 113-7 specified additional dollar amounts for each committee for the second session, equivalent to a 1% increase over the original authorization from H.Res. 115, from the reserve fund. The second session and total authorizations reflect this adjustment. The reserve fund established in H.Res. 115 did not contain a specified dollar amount, but was equivalent to the difference between amounts made available for "House of Representatives—Committee Employees, Standing Committees, Special and Select" in successive fiscal years.
b. No individual committee funding resolutions were introduced during the 113th Congress.

Sources: Data taken from individual committee funding resolutions introduced in the House for the 112th Congress (2011-2012), H.Res. 147, H.Res. 496. H.Res. 147 was the primary expense resolution. H.Res. 496 (agreed to 2/1/2012), however, reduced total amounts authorized and 2nd session amounts authorized. Prior to agreement on H.Res. 496, "Authorization" and "2nd Session" were identical to "Request" and "2nd session" request. Amounts rounded to nearest dollar.
Notes: H.Res. 5 (112th Congress) changed the names of three committees: Education and the Workforce (formerly Education and Labor); Ethics (formerly Standards of Official Conduct); and Science, Space, and Technology (formerly Science and Technology).
a. The "Difference" column represents the value of the total "Authorization" minus the total "Request." A negative number indicates the authorization for the Congress was less than the request.

The Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth was established pursuant to House Rules (H.Res. 8) and provided interim funding through March 31, 2021 (§4(g)(4)). H.Res. 316 did not provide funding for this select committee, but H.Res. 485, agreed to on June 23, 2021 (pursuant to Section 10 of H.Res. 486), provided $3.5 million for the 117th Congress ($1.5 million for the first session, $2.0 million for the second session). |

House rules have automatically provided for interim funding since the 99th Congress (1985-1986). House Rule X, clause 7(a) (117th Congress) states that each committee shall be entitled for each month ... to 9 percent (or such lesser percentage as may be determined by the Committee on House Administration) of the total annualized amount made available under expense resolutions for such committee in the preceding session of Congress. |
| 8. |
For examples of prior interim funding period extensions, see H.Res. 133 (109th Cong.), H.Res. 163 (108th Cong.), and H.Res. 102 (105th Cong.). |

The Committee on Appropriations has been funded separately through the annual appropriations acts since the enactment of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 (P.L. 79-601, §202(b), 60 Stat. 834). |
| 11. |
The provision of biennial funding dates to the 104th Congress (H.Res. 6). |
| 12. |
In particular, see "Government Contributions" in Table 7 in CRS Report R48612, Legislative Branch: FY2026 Appropriations, by Ida A. Brudnick. |

H.Rept. 117-18 states "Following the practice from last Congress, committees who submitted a bipartisan budget request would not be required to appear before the Committee, although all committees were invited to appear if they chose to do so." See also the House report accompanying the expense resolution for the 116th Congress (H.Rept. 116-20). |
| 14. |
For example, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) contained language stating that funding provided for "Standing Committees, Special and Select" shall remain available until December 31, 2022. Some years, the acts have provided for some amount to remain available until expended for a particular purpose (e.g., committee room upgrading). Depending on the level, purpose, and use of these no-year funds, any comparison or relationship between the authorization and appropriation may be complicated. |
