An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on the Judiciary.

SRES 65 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on the Judiciary to spend funds from the Senate's contingent fund for its operations from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. It sets specific spending limits: up to $9.06 million for the first period (March-September 2025), $15.54 million for fiscal year 2026 (October 2025-September 2026), and $6.47 million for the final period (October 2026-February 2027), with caps on consultant fees and staff training costs. This resolution provides the committee with financial authority for its internal activities, such as holding hearings and investigations, but does not change public policy or affect citizens directly.
