An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

SRES 59 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to spend funds from the Senate's contingent fund for its operations. It sets annual spending limits: $4.1 million (March 2025-Sept 2025), $7.0 million (Oct 2025-Sept 2026), and $2.9 million (Oct 2026-Feb 2027), covering personnel, consultant services, and staff training. The resolution specifies that certain routine expenses (like salaries, stationery, and copying costs) do not require formal vouchers for payment. This bill affects only the committee itself and its internal budgeting, with no external policy changes.
