The main purpose of this resolution is to prevent U.S. Senators from using government funds for travel to and from their homes during periods when the government is shut down due to a lack of funding. The objective is to hold Senators accountable and discourage unnecessary spending of taxpayer money during times when federal agencies are not operating. The key provision of this resolution states that Senators cannot use money from their official accounts to pay for or reimburse themselves for travel expenses between Washington, D.C., and their primary residences during a government shutdown.
