This resolution changes the Legislature's internal rules to create a formal system for funding legislators' office expenses. Each year, the Executive Appropriations Committee is required to set aside money for both the Senate and House of Representatives to cover legislators' administrative costs, and each legislator receives an equal share of that allocation — with additional amounts going to legislative leaders like the Senate president and House speaker. Legislators may use their allocation only to hire part-time staff (called "legislative aides," who cannot be family members and can work no more than 1,040 hours per year) or to cover official administrative expenses, and any unspent funds do not carry over to the next year. The committee may also optionally set aside money for legislative committees to cover costs like travel and training.
