House leaders announced Tuesday that the Republican spending bill for parking hoods will be passed in mid-November to fund the government.
Security funds will be added to the Mutual Aid program, which allows Capitol Police to repay local law enforcement and other partners to help secure lawmakers, especially when they are outside Washington.
“Safety funds ensure that yes, elected officials are safe, but also the public and the public,” said House President Bryan Steil.
The $30 million is intended to last until the November 21 end date for the government’s funding of Stopgap, with Republican leaders saying they plan to release on Tuesday.
The funding does not cover the extension of the housing pilot program ending this month, which increases members’ monthly security allocation from $150, aiming to cover monthly residential safety monitoring and maintenance costs to $5,000, so members can also hire individual security personnel.
Continue to discuss BOOST’s funding as part of the year-round legislative sector spending bill negotiations.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, Louisiana Republican, said about 20 lawmakers participated in the two-month pilot program, but last week, U.S. co-founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week.
Mr Johnson told reporters Tuesday that the $30 million sale was a partial solution.
“We will look at the Legs Section Branch Appropriations Act to get further funding,” he said.
