Committee Expenditures for the Last Five Fiscal Years
Comparison of the Global Envelope for Committees
The Board of Internal Economy determines the budget envelope or global envelope for standing and standing joint committee activities in each fiscal year. The following table and figure show the funds in the global envelope for each of the last five fiscal years. The global envelope does not include any amounts provided for special and legislative committees in any fiscal year, as these types of committees are funded directly by the Board of Internal Economy through separate processes.
