Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This measure sets the budget for the House Committee on Ways and Means for the current two‑year Congress, so the committee can carry out its work such as hearings, oversight, and drafting bills on taxes, trade, and certain health programs . It exists to authorize the routine operating costs of the committee, including staff support and day‑to‑day needs, for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress . The main people affected are committee members and their staff, along with House administrative offices that manage funds and support services . It does not change any federal laws or create public programs; it only provides the committee with resources to do its existing duties . The resolution specifies the amounts available for these expenses, but the provided summary does not list the dollar figures . For the public, the impact is indirect: it helps ensure the committee that handles major tax and trade issues can function smoothly during this Congress .
