Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
Summary
H.Res. 82 is a non-binding resolution that would provide a budget for the expenses of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for the 119th Congress, which began in January 2025. This type of resolution does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. It is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
If enacted, this resolution would establish the funding level for the committee's day-to-day operations, including staff salaries, office supplies, and investigative activities. The resolution was introduced by Representative James Comer (R-KY) on January 31, 2025. The practical impact on everyday citizens would be indirect—the resolution itself does not create new policies or programs, but rather determines how much money Congress allocates to fund this particular committee's work overseeing federal agencies and government operations.
