Resolution No. 22, introduced by Paxton, outlines the responsibilities and powers of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate during the 2025 legislative interim. It authorizes the hiring of necessary personnel to manage Senate operations and protect its property, while also restricting the use of Senate offices and the Chamber to only those with the President Pro Tempore's consent. Additionally, the resolution allows for repairs and renovations to Senate-controlled spaces, including the purchase of required equipment and furnishings.

Furthermore, the President Pro Tempore is empowered to appoint Senate members to interim committees and approve reimbursement claims for expenses incurred by Senate members and employees during the interim. The resolution emphasizes that these powers are supplementary to any existing legal or procedural authorities. It was adopted by the Senate on May 29, 2025.
