Designating an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This joint resolution directs the Department of War to designate an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives within 180 days of enactment. The Department, in consultation with the Architect of the Capitol , will be responsible for furnishing, maintaining, repairing, altering, and securing this residence for the Speaker's official use. Funds appropriated for the Department of War's facility operations and maintenance may be used for various expenses, including furnishing, utilities, security, and staffing. A key provision clarifies that the Speaker does not gain ownership or any personal property interest in the designated residence. This measure aims to provide a formal, supported living arrangement for the Speaker without conferring private ownership.
