That sentence, in plain words

Each Senate office gets the same share of the money. It is used to keep members safe.

What this is about

The money can pay for guards and for safety work at offices. It is split evenly, not by state size. More money goes to the Senate guards as well.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
