An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Finance.

SRES 63 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Finance to spend funds for its operations from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. It sets specific annual spending limits: $7.6 million for the first half of 2025, $13.1 million for fiscal year 2026, and $5.5 million for early 2027, covering staff salaries, consultant services (with strict caps of $17,500-$30,000 annually), and staff training. The resolution allows the committee to use the Senate’s contingent fund, employ personnel, and access other agencies’ services with prior approval, while exempting routine expenses like salaries and stationery from voucher requirements. This resolution directly affects the Committee on Finance’s ability to manage its budget and conduct hearings, investigations, and staff activities.
