To require amounts remaining in Members' representational allowances at the end of a fiscal year to be used for deficit reduction or to reduce the Federal debt, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 921 would require that any unspent funds from a Member of the House of Representatives' official office budget be returned to the U.S. Treasury at the end of the fiscal year. These remaining funds would be specifically designated to decrease the federal budget deficit or, if no deficit exists, to pay down the national debt. For citizens, this measure aims to ensure that unused taxpayer money allocated for congressional office operations is used exclusively for debt reduction rather than being redirected to other government spending.
