The Make Congress Drive Union-Made Act restricts how Members of Congress can spend their official expense allowances on vehicles. Specifically, it prohibits House Representatives and Senators from using their representational and office expense funds to purchase or lease motor vehicles unless those vehicles are both manufactured in the United States and assembled by workers covered by union collective bargaining agreements. The restriction applies to Members' Representational Allowances for House members and Senators' Official Personnel and Office Expense Accounts, and takes effect on October 1, 2026. The bill does not provide new funding but rather places conditions on existing congressional expense budgets to promote domestic union-made manufacturing.
