An original resolution authorizing expenses by the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

SRES 39 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs to spend funds from the Senate's contingent fund for operational expenses. It sets specific spending limits: $2.4 million for March-September 2023, $4.2 million for fiscal year 2024, and $1.7 million for October 2024-February 2025, covering personnel, consultant services (with caps), and staff training. This resolution directly affects the committee’s ability to operate, including holding hearings and conducting investigations under Senate rules. It does not change veterans' benefits or create new policies - it only provides funding authorization for the committee’s administrative functions.
