ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—THE JUDICIARY

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Note: In the absence of enacted fiscal year 2024 full year 

appropriations, the judiciary built its fiscal year 2025 

language request using the House Appropriations 

Committee-passed version of the fiscal 2024 Financial 

Services and General Government (FSGG) bill.

Therefore, the bracketed and italicized changes reflected 

below are being made to fiscal year 2024 language as it 

appears in H.R. 4664. 

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. 

[SEC. 306. Section 3006A(d)(1) of title 18, United States 

Code, is amended— 

(1) in subsection (d)—
