12.1

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—THE JUDICIARY

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Note: In the absence of enacted FY 2022 full year 

appropriations, the judiciary built its FY 2023 language 

requests using the House-passed version of the FY 2022

Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) bill. 

Therefore, the bracketed and italicized changes reflected 

below are being made to FY 2022 language as it appears in 

H.R. 4502. 

SEC. 301. Appropriations and authorizations made in this title 

which are available for salaries and expenses shall be available

for services as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109. 

SEC. 302. Not to exceed 5 percent of any appropriation made 

available for the current fiscal year for the Judiciary in this Act

may be transferred between such appropriations, but no such 

appropriation, except “Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and 

Other Judicial Services, Defender Services” and “Courts of 

Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services, Fees of

Jurors and Commissioners”, shall be increased by more than 

10 percent by any such transfers: Provided, That any transfer 

pursuant to this section shall be treated as a reprogramming of 

funds under sections 604 and 608 of this Act and shall not be 

available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance 

with the procedures set forth in section 608. 

SEC. 303. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 

salaries and expenses appropriation for “Courts of Appeals, 

District Courts, and Other Judicial Services” shall be available

for official reception and representation expenses of the 

Judicial Conference of the United States: Provided, That such

available funds shall not exceed $11,000 and shall be 

administered by the Director of the Administrative Office of

the United States Courts in the capacity as Secretary of the

Judicial Conference.

SEC. 304. Section 3315(a) of title 40, United States Code, shall

be applied by substituting “Federal” for “executive” each place

it appears.

SEC. 305. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. 561–569, and 

notwithstanding any other provision of law, the United States 

Marshals Service shall provide, for such courthouses as its

Director may designate in consultation with the Director of the 

Administrative Office of the United States Courts, for purposes 

of a pilot program, the security services that 40 U.S.C. 1315 

authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to provide, 

except for the services specified in 40 U.S.C. 1315(b)(2)(E). 

For building-specific security services at these courthouses, the 

Director of the Administrative Office of the United States 

Courts shall reimburse the United States Marshals Service 

rather than the Department of Homeland Security.

years and 6 months”.]

Urban Development, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia,

and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public

Law 109–115; 119 Stat. 2470; 28 U.S.C. 133 note) is amended

in the second sentence (relating to the eastern District of

(3) in the third sentence (relating to the western district
