An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on the Budget.

S.Res. 78 is a non-binding resolution that would authorize expenditures by the Senate Committee on the Budget. This type of resolution allows the committee to allocate funds for its operational needs, including staff salaries, office expenses, and other costs associated with conducting its work. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. It is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. If passed, it would simply establish the spending authority for the Budget Committee's internal operations rather than creating new policy affecting the general public.
