This section generally bars appropriated funds from paying society membership costs or meeting attendance costs. It states specified exceptions and preserves certain Agriculture Department uses.
Unless a specific appropriation, express language in a general appropriation, or section 4109 or 4110 authorizes it, appropriated money may not pay: (1) membership fees or dues for an employee defined in section 2105 or a District of Columbia government employee to belong to a society or association; or (2) an individual’s costs to attend a society or association meeting or convention. This does not prevent Agriculture Department appropriations from paying costs of its employees giving lectures, providing instruction, or obtaining information at meetings about the Department’s authorized work.
Except as authorized by a specific appropriation, by express terms in a general appropriation, or by sections 4109 and 4110 of this title, appropriated funds may not be used for payment of—
membership fees or dues of an employee as defined by section 2105 of this title or an individual employed by the government of the District of Columbia in a society or association; or
expenses of attendance of an individual at meetings or conventions of members of a society or association.
This section does not prevent the use of appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for expenses incident to the delivery of lectures, the giving of instructions, or the acquiring of information at meetings by its employees on subjects relating to the authorized work of the Department.
