This resolution authorizes expenditures for the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs (the committee) from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The resolution grants the committee broad powers to conduct its legislative responsibilities, including making expenditures from the Senate's contingent fund, employing personnel, and using services from other government departments with prior consent. The resolution specifies detailed budget allocations for three distinct time periods: from March 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025 (with a budget of $5,141,314), from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026 (with a budget of $8,813,681), and from October 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027 (with a budget of $3,672,367). Within these budgets, the committee is permitted to spend limited amounts on consulting services and staff training. The resolution also outlines administrative procedures for expense payments, including provisions for which types of expenses can be paid without requiring formal vouchers, such as staff salaries, telecommunications, and postage. Additionally, the resolution authorizes agency contributions for employee compensation to be paid from the Senate's "Expenses of Inquiries and Investigations" account.
