To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for District of Columbia, Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Public Defender Service for fiscal year 2024.

HR 2098 sets a strict spending limit of $45,858,000 for federal funding to the District of Columbia Public Defender Service during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the DC Public Defender Service by restricting the amount of federal money it can receive for its operations that year. The key provision is a hard cap on available funds, preventing any higher appropriation for this specific service in FY2024. It does not alter the service's responsibilities or create new programs, only limiting the federal contribution. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on a funding restriction.
