S. Res. 65 is a budget resolution that authorizes spending by the Senate Judiciary Committee from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The committee is granted authority to spend money from the Senate's contingent fund to conduct hearings, investigations, hire staff, and perform other duties under its jurisdiction. The spending is divided into three periods: $9.1 million for March through September 2025, $15.5 million for October 2025 through September 2026, and $6.5 million for October 2026 through February 2027, totaling approximately $31 million over the two-year period. These funds cover personnel salaries, consultant services (capped at $80,000 to $125,000 depending on the period), and staff training. The resolution also authorizes the committee to use government department personnel with proper consent and establishes that most routine expenses like telecommunications, mail, and employee salaries don't require individual voucher approvals.
