An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

This resolution authorizes the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs to spend up to $2.67 million from the Senate's contingent fund for operations from March 2025 through September 2025, with additional limits of $4.58 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1.91 million through February 2027. It specifically permits the committee to hire staff, pay for consultant services (with annual caps of $58,000-$42,000), and cover staff training costs (capped at $40,000-$30,000 annually). The resolution outlines strict spending limits and procedures for reimbursing agency personnel services, while exempting routine administrative expenses like salaries and stationery from standard voucher requirements. This procedural resolution directly affects only the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, enabling its operational budgeting under Senate rules.
