This resolution authorizes the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry to carry out its powers, duties, and functions, including holding hearings and investigations, for a period spanning from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027 . During this time, the committee is empowered to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate, employ personnel, and, with prior consent, utilize the services of personnel from other government departments or agencies. The resolution establishes specific financial limits for the committee's operations across three distinct periods: $4,464,935 for March 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025; $7,654,174 for October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026; and $3,189,239 for October 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027. Each period includes specific allowances for the procurement of consultant services and the training of professional staff , typically up to $200,000 and $40,000 respectively.
