Summary

Sets up money to pay interns who work in House leadership offices.

"House leadership office" means an office funded under the "House Leadership Offices" heading in the annual Legislative Branch appropriations law. "Intern" means the same as in 2 U.S.C. 5321(c)(2). Funds may be appropriated as needed for fiscal year 2020 and each year after, and the rule starts in fiscal year 2020 and continues each year.
