This authorization is effective for a two-year period, commencing on March 1, 2025, and concluding on February 28, 2027. The resolution sets clear financial limits for the committee's operations across three defined periods. For March 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025, expenses are capped at $5,261,497, including funds for consultants. A higher limit of $9,019,709 is set for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, also with a consultant allocation. The final period, October 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027, has an expense ceiling of $3,758,212, which includes provisions for consultant services. Most expenses are paid from the Senate's contingent fund, though certain items like salaries and telecommunications do not require individual vouchers, and agency contributions for employee compensation are also authorized.
