This resolution lets the Senate Committee on the Judiciary spend money and hire staff to carry out its Senate duties from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The committee may also use staff from other government departments or agencies with that agency's and the Committee on Rules and Administration's prior consent. It includes limits on total spending and limits on how much can be used for outside consultants and staff training.
The resolution sets spending and staffing limits for the Judiciary Committee so it can hold hearings, run investigations, and do other committee work. It does not itself change substantive laws or create new programs. It sets who approves vouchers for payments and allows use of other agencies' staff with consent.
Expenses are to be paid from the contingent fund of the Senate upon vouchers approved by the committee chairman, except vouchers are not required for certain recurring items: annual salaries, telecommunications provided by the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, stationery bought through the Keeper of the Stationery, Postmaster payments, metered copying charges from the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, Senate Recording and Photographic Services, and franked or mass mail costs handled by the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper. The resolution also authorizes payments from the Senate account "Expenses of Inquiries and Investigations" for agency contributions related to committee employee compensation for each of the three periods.
