An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

This resolution authorizes the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to spend up to $14 million from the Senate's operating fund over two years (March 2023-February 2025) for its internal operations. It sets specific spending limits for staff salaries, consultant services (with annual caps of $30,000), and staff training (capped at $15,000 annually), covering activities like hearings and investigations. The resolution does not create new laws or affect external entities - it solely provides budgetary authority for the committee’s administrative functions.
