This resolution grants the Senate Committee on the Judiciary the authority to carry out its powers, duties, and functions, including holding hearings and conducting investigations. Effective from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027 , the committee is authorized to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate, employ personnel, and utilize the services of personnel from other government departments or agencies. The resolution establishes specific spending caps for three distinct periods within this timeframe, with total authorized expenditures exceeding $31 million. These funds are allocated for general committee expenses, the procurement of individual consultants, and the training of professional staff. For example, the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, has an expense limit of $15,538,595 , including up to $125,000 for consultants and $15,000 for staff training. Most committee expenses will be paid from the contingent fund upon approved vouchers, though certain routine payments like salaries and telecommunications are exempt from this requirement.
