Demand for reimbursement

In the event that section 213 of title II of division C of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026, is held to be unconstitutional in any ruling made in response to litigation initiated, or in which the House intervenes, pursuant to this resolution, the Speaker is authorized to— (1) tally all costs incurred by the House of Representatives related to such litigation, including legal fees, expenses for outside counsel and other experts, and related administrative costs; and (2) send a formal letter to the majority leader of the Senate demanding that the Senate reimburse the House of Representatives for all such litigation-related costs from funds allocated to the Senate, and cause that letter to be entered into the Congressional Record.
