Changes to US Senate Spending Identification Rules
This resolution amends the internal rules of the U.S. Senate regarding how spending items are identified and tracked. It requires that amendments and messages from the House of Representatives also be included in the spending identification process. This means citizens can expect greater transparency in how Congress tracks and reports all expenditures, whether originating from the Senate or the House.
Key points
House of Representatives messages and amendments will now be subject to the same spending identification requirements as Senate documents.
Increased transparency in tracking Congressional spending, potentially making it easier for citizens to monitor how public money is spent.
