An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Indian Affairs.

This resolution grants authority to the Committee on Indian Affairs to carry out its functions and duties for a period spanning from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. During this time, the committee is authorized to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate, employ necessary personnel, and utilize the services of personnel from other government departments or agencies, either on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis, with appropriate consent. The resolution establishes specific spending limits for three distinct periods: $1,858,378 for March 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025; $3,185,791 for October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026; and $1,327,413 for October 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027. Each period includes sub-caps of $50,000 for consultants and $20,000 for staff training. Expenses are primarily paid from the Senate's contingent fund, with some exceptions not requiring vouchers, and agency contributions for employee compensation are also authorized.
