Bill > SR22

This resolution establishes a comprehensive set of administrative authorizations for the Senate President Pro Tempore during the 2025 legislative interim. Specifically, the resolution empowers the President Pro Tempore to hire employees to manage and protect Senate property, strictly control access to Senate spaces by prohibiting use of the Senate Chamber, meeting rooms, and offices by private organizations or state agencies without explicit consent, and authorize needed repairs and renovations to Capitol spaces under Senate control. Additionally, the resolution grants the President Pro Tempore authority to appoint Senate members to interim committees, approve reimbursement claims for members and employees conducting official business, and purchase necessary equipment, supplies, furniture, and fixtures. The final section emphasizes that these powers are supplemental to existing legal authorities and do not replace any previously established powers, ensuring flexibility in Senate administrative operations during the interim period.
