This resolution officially sets the minority party’s membership on a long list of Senate committees for the 119th Congress. In simple terms, it assigns which senators will serve on each committee for the minority party, names the lead minority senator for each one, and keeps those assignments in place until new members are chosen.
- It covers many Senate committees, including agriculture, appropriations, armed services, banking, commerce, energy, environment, finance, foreign relations, health care, homeland security, judiciary, budget, rules, small business, veterans’ affairs, aging, ethics, Indian affairs, and intelligence.
- For each committee, the resolution lists the minority party senators who will serve and identifies the ranking member, who is the main minority party leader on that committee.
- It also names minority members for select and joint committees, including the intelligence committee, the joint economic committee, and the ethics committee, along with ex officio members where needed.
- This is an organizational measure only. It does not change policy or law; it simply sets up committee membership so the Senate can do its work for the new Congress.
