Latest Action · July 9, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This joint resolution would establish an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Department of War would be required to designate an appropriate facility within 180 days of the bill's passage to serve as the Speaker's official home. The Department of War, working with the Architect of the Capitol, would be responsible for furnishing, maintaining, repairing, and securing the residence, with costs covered by existing Department of War operation and maintenance budgets. These costs would include furnishings, utilities, communications, security, and staffing for the residence. The bill clarifies that the Speaker would not own the residence or have any personal property interest in it, as it would remain government property for official use only.
