SUE Act

The "Stop Unnecessary Expenditures Act," also referred to as the SUE Act , introduces a specific restriction on the use of federal funds within the legislative branch. Its primary provision dictates that no Federal funds shall be allocated or used to cover the expenses of a subscription to the Wall Street Journal . This prohibition is comprehensive, applying to any office of a Member of Congress, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, as well as to any congressional committee. The measure is set to become effective for fiscal year 2025 and will continue to apply to every succeeding fiscal year thereafter, ensuring a permanent change in how these particular media subscriptions are funded.
