An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Special Committee on Aging.

This resolution grants the Special Committee on Aging general authority to conduct its duties from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. During this period, the committee is empowered to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate, employ necessary personnel, and utilize the services of other government department or agency personnel on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis with prior consent. These powers enable the committee to fulfill its mandate as outlined in Senate Resolution 4 of the 95th Congress. Specific spending limits are established for different periods, including $2,060,695 for March 1 to September 30, 2025, $3,532,620 for October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, and $1,471,925 for October 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027. Each period allocates a maximum of $1,500 for individual consultants and another $1,500 for professional staff training. Committee expenses are generally paid from the contingent fund of the Senate upon approved vouchers, though certain routine disbursements like employee salaries and telecommunications do not require vouchers. Additionally, agency contributions for employee compensation are authorized from the 'Expenses of Inquiries and Investigations' account.
