§6519 Mccain-mansfield and Sfc Sean Cooley and Spc Christopher Horton Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowships Programs

Summary

Creates a new account called the "sergeant at arms fellowships fund" to pay for two Senate fellowship programs: the SFC Sean Cooley and SPC Christopher Horton Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program (the "Green and Gold Congressional Aide Program") and the McCain-Mansfield Fellowship Program, both set up by Senate resolutions on November 4, 2021, and any successor programs. "Appropriate committees of the Senate" means the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Committee on Rules and Administration. "Sergeant at Arms" means the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate. Money in the fund must be used to pay fellows and to run the fellowship programs. Agency contributions are paid from the Senate's "Salaries, Officers and Employees" account. The Sergeant at Arms must give the two committees a plan before spending any money, update the plan if it changes, and send yearly reports on program costs. Funds are authorized starting in fiscal year 2023 and every year after as needed. Fellows paid from the fund do not count toward the Office of the Sergeant at Arms staffing limits.
