A RESOLUTION
Prohibiting the use of funds appropriated to the Senate to pay
or reimburse for costs associated with the use of automatic
dialing-announcing devices.
WHEREAS, The Senate finds that use of public funds to pay for
costs of robo-calls is inappropriate; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That notwithstanding any provisions of the
Financial Operating Rules or any policy adopted by the Committee
on Management Operations to the contrary, the use of funds
appropriated to the Senate to pay or reimburse for costs
associated with the use of automatic dialing-announcing devices
is prohibited. For purposes of this resolution, an automatic
dialing-announcing device is any device or equipment which,
working alone or in conjunction with other devices or equipment,
disseminates a prerecorded or synthesized voice message to the
telephone number called.
