Latest Action · September 18, 2025
Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S6720; text: CR S6743)
This resolution allows U.S. Senators to use funds from their official office expense accounts to pay for personal security enhancements and services. The resolution amends a 1980 Senate resolution to expand what Senators can spend their official funds on, specifically adding security costs as an allowable expense. All 100 Senators are affected by this change, as it gives each Senator the option to use their existing office budgets for security purposes rather than requiring separate funding. The Senate Rules Committee is authorized to create specific regulations for how this new spending authority will work. The new spending rules apply immediately to any security expenses incurred on or after the resolution's adoption date of September 18, 2025.
