The resolution outlines a procedure for the required disclosures related to enhancement grants as mandated by Rule 52 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives. It specifies that for any legislatively directed spending item to be considered for inclusion in a bill or conference report, certain information must be publicly available on the internet at least 14 days prior to the passage of the bill. This includes details such as the sponsoring legislator's name, the intended recipient's information, the purpose of the spending item, the requested amount of funding, and verification of the recipient's eligibility if they are a not-for-profit entity. Additionally, a certification regarding any potential conflicts of interest for the sponsoring legislator is required.
The resolution also establishes a process for co-sponsorship of spending items, requiring written permission from the sponsoring legislator. It mandates the creation of a dedicated webpage on the House's official site to ensure public access to the completed disclosure statements. Furthermore, it clarifies that for-profit businesses are ineligible to receive these legislatively directed spending items, and it defines key terms such as "immediate family," "legislatively directed spending item," and "staff" to ensure clarity in the application of the rules.
