S. Res. 76 authorizes the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions to spend money for its operations over a two-year period from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The committee can use these funds to hold hearings, conduct investigations, hire staff, and employ consultants as part of its normal legislative duties. The total authorized spending is approximately $26.6 million, divided into three periods: $7.8 million through September 30, 2025; $13.3 million for fiscal year 2026; and $5.5 million through February 28, 2027. Within these amounts, the committee can spend up to $75,000 on consultant services and $25,000 on staff training during each period. The money comes from the Senate's contingent fund, and the committee chairman must approve individual expenditures, though routine payments like employee salaries and telecommunications are exempt from this approval requirement.
