A Resolution adopting Financial Operating Rules of the Senate.

SR 5 is a Senate resolution adopting the Financial Operating Rules for the 2025-2026 legislative sessions. These rules establish standardized procedures for Senate payroll (requiring detailed employee files and contract approvals), travel reimbursements (covering mileage, vehicle rentals, and allowable expenses), and contract management. The rules directly affect Senate employees, Senators, and their staff by governing how financial transactions are processed and documented. They aim to standardize financial operations across Senate offices and ensure compliance with internal policies.
