An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

SRES 70 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to spend specific amounts from the Senate's contingent fund for its operations. It sets spending limits of $4.39 million (March 2025-September 2025), $7.53 million (October 2025-September 2026), and $3.14 million (October 2026-February 2027), with caps on consultant fees ($17,500-$30,000) and staff training ($8,750-$15,000). The resolution directly affects only the committee itself, enabling it to cover personnel costs, hearings, and investigations under Senate rules. It does not create new policies or impact external entities, as it solely governs the committee’s internal budgetary authority.
