Summary:

The legislative branch appropriations bill is one of the regular appropriations bills that Congress normally enacts each year for the fiscal year beginning on October 1. It provides budget authority, which is statutory authority to spend specified amounts of money, for expenditures of the legislative branch for the fiscal year, including salaries. This bill funds the operations not only of Congress itself but also of its support agencies and other entities within the legislative branch.
