An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

SRES 77 authorizes the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to spend specific amounts from the Senate's contingent fund for its operations from March 2025 through February 2027. It sets annual spending limits: $8.38 million for the 2025 fiscal year, $14.37 million for 2026, and $5.99 million for early 2027, with caps on consultant fees ($400,000 annually) and staff training ($20,000 annually). The resolution does not create new policies or investigations but provides the financial framework for the committee to conduct its existing duties, including oversight, hearings, and investigations under Senate rules. This is a procedural funding measure, not a substantive legislative change.
