A resolution prohibiting the use of funds for travel by Senators to or from their residence during Government shutdowns.
This resolution prohibits U.S. Senators from using official funds for certain travel during government shutdowns. Specifically, it prevents Senators from using money from their Official Personnel and Office Expense Account. These funds cannot be used to pay for or reimburse a Senator for travel between Washington D.C. and their primary residence. This restriction applies only when there is a lapse in appropriations for one or more federal agencies.
