No change to your daily life — the Senate Agriculture Committee can spend up to $15.3 million through early 2027.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution pays the Senate Agriculture Committee's own bills. The committee works on farm, food, and forestry policy. The money covers its staff, hearings, and investigations from March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2027. The cash comes from the Senate's contingent fund, a standing account for committee costs. No new tax pays for it. Spending is capped at $4,464,935 through September 2025. The cap is $7,654,174 for the year after that. It is $3,189,239 for the final stretch through February 2027. That adds up to about $15.3 million. In each stretch, up to $200,000 can go to outside consultants. Up to $40,000 can go to staff training. The committee could also borrow workers from other federal agencies, if those agencies agree.
