§6635 Office of Senate Health Promotion

Summary

The Sergeant at Arms can set up an Office of Senate Health Promotion to run regular exercise classes and other health services for Senators, officers, and Senate employees (the Sergeant at Arms will say who counts as an employee). The Sergeant at Arms can charge fees and other costs for these services. Those fees go into a special Senate Health Promotion Revolving Fund in the Treasury. The money can be spent by the Secretary of the Senate to promote health without yearly limits. On or before December 31 each year, the Secretary must send to the Treasury any money in the fund over $5,000 from the end of the previous fiscal year. Payments from the fund must be made on vouchers signed by the Sergeant at Arms. Rules that ban sales or solicitations on Capitol grounds do not apply to these activities. The Sergeant at Arms must write regulations to run the program, and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration must approve those rules at the start of each Congress.
