This resolution authorizes specific spending limits for 19 Senate committees and the Special Committee on Aging for three budget periods spanning from March 2023 through February 2025. It establishes annual spending caps for each committee, including detailed limits on consultant fees (ranging from $1,500 to $400,000) and staff training expenses (ranging from $1,166 to $70,000). The resolution enables committees to fund personnel, hearings, investigations, and other committee functions as permitted under Senate rules. It also creates a special reserve fund to address unexpected expenses, available upon request by committee leadership with approval from the Committee on Rules and Administration. This resolution directly affects all standing Senate committees that require funding for their operations during the specified periods.
