An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

This resolution authorizes the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to spend funds from the Senate's contingent budget for its operations. It sets specific spending limits: $5.8 million for March 2023-September 2023, $10.1 million for October 2023-September 2024, and $4.2 million for October 2024-February 2025. The committee may use funds for staff salaries, hiring personnel, consultant services (capped at $50,000 per period), and staff training (also capped at $50,000 per period). This procedural resolution directly affects the committee's administrative budgeting and operational capacity, without creating new policy.
