Summary

The Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate may create an Office of Senate Health Promotion. That office can run regular exercise classes and other health programs for Senators, officers, and Senate employees. It can charge fees to help pay for those services, and the Sergeant at Arms can set the rules about who counts as a Senate employee. All fees go into a Senate Health Promotion Revolving Fund in the U.S. Treasury. The money can be used any time to pay for health programs. By December 31 each year, the Secretary of the Senate must return to the Treasury any fund balance over $5,000 from the prior fiscal year. Payments from the fund need vouchers signed by the Sergeant at Arms. A rule in title 40, section 5104(c), does not apply, and the Sergeant at Arms must write regulations that the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration approves at the start of each Congress.
