2 U.S.C. § 6634: Senate Hair Care Services

Summary

Creates a new revolving fund in the U.S. Treasury to pay for and run hair care services for the Senate. The Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate may hire staff and set their pay. All money the service gets from fees or other sources must go into that fund. The money can be used any year to pay salaries and buy supplies, equipment, and other needed expenses. Agency contributions for employees come from the “Salaries, Officers and Employees” account. Most rules in section 5104(c) of title 40 do not apply here, except the part about solicitation, and activities need approval by the Committee on Rules and Administration. Payments from the fund must be made on vouchers signed by the Sergeant at Arms, except yearly-rate salaries. If the Committee on Rules and Administration decides there is extra money, the Secretary of the Senate must put that excess back into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. The Sergeant at Arms may make regulations to run the service, with the Committee’s approval. Any unused balance from the old fund under section 121a is moved into the new fund. The rule is effective on or after October 1, 1998, or 30 days after enactment of the Act (October 21, 1998), whichever is later.
