The Secretary of the Senate may reimburse banks for clearing Senate items, set rules for cashing personal checks at the Senate Disbursing Office, and withhold unpaid Senate debts from amounts due to or on behalf of an employee. Withheld amounts must be credited to the appropriate account.
(a) Reimbursement of banks. The Secretary of the Senate may reimburse a bank that clears items for the United States Senate for the bank’s clearing costs. The reimbursements must come from the Senate Contingent Fund. (b) Check-cashing regulations. The Secretary may issue rules the Secretary considers necessary to govern the Senate Disbursing Office’s cashing of personal checks. (c) Amounts withheld for employee indebtedness. If an employee whose compensation the Secretary disburses owes money to the Senate and does not pay it, the Secretary may withhold the debt from any amount the Secretary disburses that is owed to or for the employee. Whenever money is withheld under this section, the appropriate account must be credited by the same amount.
The Secretary of the Senate is authorized to reimburse any bank which clears items for the United States Senate for the costs incurred therein. Such reimbursements shall be made from the contingent fund of the Senate.
The Secretary of the Senate is authorized to prescribe such regulations as he deems necessary to govern the cashing of personal checks by the Disbursing Office of the Senate.
Whenever an employee whose compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate becomes indebted to the Senate and such employee fails to pay such indebtedness, the Secretary of the Senate is authorized to withhold the amount of the indebtedness from any amount which is disbursed by him and which is due to, or on behalf of, such employee. Whenever an amount is withheld under this section, the appropriate account shall be credited in an amount equal to the amount so withheld.
