S.Res. 82
S. Res. 82 authorizes the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to spend money and conduct its operations from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The resolution allocates approximately $21.5 million total across three periods: $6.3 million through September 2025, $10.7 million for fiscal year 2026, and $4.5 million through February 2027. These funds come from the Senate's contingent fund and can be used for staff salaries, consultants, professional training, hearings, investigations, and related administrative expenses. The committee can also use personnel from other government agencies with appropriate approval. This is a routine administrative measure that allows the committee to carry out its legislative responsibilities in commerce, science, and transportation matters.
