An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

SRES 71 authorizes the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship to spend specific amounts from the Senate's operating fund for its operations during 2025-2027. It sets annual spending limits: $2.77 million for March 2025-September 2025, $4.75 million for fiscal year 2026, and $1.98 million for October 2026-February 2027, with caps of $50,000 for consultants and $10,000 for staff training in each period. The resolution covers personnel costs, consultant services, and committee expenses but does not create new policies or affect external entities. It is a procedural funding measure for the committee’s internal operations, not a substantive legislative change.
