HJRES 201 United States House · 119th Congress

Designating an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This joint resolution directs the Department of War to select and prepare an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives within 180 days of enactment. The designated facility will be maintained, furnished, and secured using existing funds allocated for Department of War operations, covering costs such as utilities, security, and staffing. The law explicitly states that the Speaker will not gain ownership or personal property rights to the residence, ensuring it remains an official government asset. This measure establishes a formal home for the Speaker without altering any other existing laws or procedures.
