Bill > SR4

This resolution establishes administrative and operational guidelines for the Georgia State Senate during the 2025-2026 biennium, covering various aspects of personnel management, compensation, and committee operations. The resolution authorizes the Senate Committee on Administrative Affairs to employ various staff members including postmasters, doorkeepers, pages, administrative assistants, and consultants, with the flexibility to hire personnel on a permanent or temporary, part-time or full-time basis. It also provides for the creation of specialized offices like the Senate Office of Policy and Legislative Analysis, Budget and Evaluation Office, and Press Office. The resolution sets compensation guidelines for key Senate officials, including the Secretary of the Senate and the Sergeant-at-Arms, and allows Senate leadership (President Pro Tempore, Majority Leader, and Minority Leader) to receive expense and travel allowances when conducting official business during non-session periods. Additionally, it establishes rules for interim committee work, allowing Senate members to receive travel and expense allowances for legislative duties performed outside of formal legislative sessions, with the Senate Committee on Administrative Affairs empowered to set limits on the number of days such allowances can be claimed. The resolution emphasizes that all personnel serve at the pleasure of their appointing authority and can be discharged with or without cause, and it takes effect immediately upon adoption by the Senate.
