The President signed the resolution into law on February 20\n( P.L. 108-7 )\n Division H of P.L. 108-7 contains $3.36 billion for legislative branch activities. Language in\nthe Act also requires a rescission of 0.65% in the appropriations of most entities funded in the bill,\nincluding those for the legislative branch. The FY2003 legislative branch appropriation of $3.36\nbillion, not adjusted for the rescission, is an increase of 3.3% from FY2002's $3.25 billion funding\nlevel. \n \n The increase will meet mandatory expenses required by law, including funding for a January\n2003 salary increase of 4.1%, and related personnel costs, such as the federal retirement system. The\nadditional money funds security programs for the Capitol complex, including a 17.6% increase in\nthe Capitol Police budget and an 11.4% increase in the Architect of the Capitol's budget in part for\nsecurity related enhancements. \n Capitol Police funding contains a 9.1% increase in police pay, and related provisions that merge\nthe Library of Congress police force with the Capitol Police force and expand authority of the\nCapitol Police chief to enhance police recruitment and retention (including provisions for hiring and\nrelocation bonuses, establishment of a student loan repayment program, and authorization for\ntraining). Other provisions mandate a redefinition of the mission and composition of the Capitol\nPolice Board.\n The Architect of the Capitol's budget contains funds for an alternate computer facility for use\nduring emergencies, and $23.9 million for a new line item, Capitol Police buildings and grounds. \nThe budget also contains increases of $49.7 million (94.6%) for Capitol Power Plant improvements;\nand $15.8 million (72.5%) for Library of Congress buildings and grounds, partly for enhanced\nsecurity. \n Both houses passed their versions of the FY2003 bill last year. The House passed its version,\n H.R. 5121 , on July 18, 2002, containing $2.67 billion (excluding Senate items) for\nlegislative branch activities, an increase of $128.2 million (5.0%) over the FY2002 appropriation of\n$2.54 billion (excluding Senate items). \n The Senate passed its version of H.R. 5121 , amended to contain the language of\n S. 2720 , on July 25. It contained $2.42 billion (excluding House items), an increase of\n$143.1 million (6.3%) over the FY2002 level of $2.28 billion (excluding House items). \n H.R. 5121 , as amended, died with adjournment of the 107th Congress in December\n2002. During the first month of the 108th Congress, FY2003 legislative funding language was\ninserted in H.J.Res. 2 during Senate floor consideration. Upon Senate passage,\n H.J.Res. 2 was sent directly to conference.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/RL31312", "sha1": "9b64c2ff3c48779d3af60b48777d6ab47bf6a997", "filename": "files/20030228_RL31312_9b64c2ff3c48779d3af60b48777d6ab47bf6a997.html", "images": null }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL31312", "sha1": "959d8454021b6c6ea7e23ba9a0b356c037c11a09", "filename": "files/20030228_RL31312_959d8454021b6c6ea7e23ba9a0b356c037c11a09.pdf", "images": null } ], "topics": [] }, { "source": "University of North Texas Libraries Government Documents Department", "sourceLink": "https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs4004/", "id": "RL31312 2003-02-28", "date": "2003-01-27", "retrieved": "2005-06-10T23:41:23", "title": "Appropriations for FY2003: Legislative Branch", "summary": "Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and budget reconciliation bills.
