An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

This procedural resolution (SRES 48) authorizes the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry to spend up to $14.4 million over two fiscal years (March 2023-February 2025) for its operations. It specifically permits the committee to hire staff, hold hearings, conduct investigations, and pay for consultant services (capped at $200,000 per period) and staff training (capped at $40,000 per period), all funded through the Senate's contingent fund. The resolution does not change laws or affect the public; it simply provides budgetary authority for committee administrative needs.
