A concurrent resolution to provide for the final adjournment of the Legislature.
Impact
This resolution does not alter existing state laws or policies but formally outlines the conclusion of the legislative session. By setting these adjournment dates, the Legislature clarifies the operational timeline for its members and staff, allowing for better planning and organization of legislative business, staffing needs, and public awareness of legislative activity periods. It is a procedural resolution ensuring that all members are aware of the agreed-upon schedule.
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 11, introduced by Senator Singh, establishes the adjournment dates for the Legislature in 2025. The resolution stipulates that both the Senate and the House of Representatives will adjourn on December 18, 2025, and reconvene on December 23, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. Furthermore, it specifies that upon adjourning on December 23, 2025, the Legislature will stand adjourned without setting a further date for reconvening. This measure provides a clear timeline for the end of the legislative session for that year.
Contention
Since SCR0011 primarily deals with procedural matters related to the adjournment of the Legislature, there are few points of contention associated with the bill. Generally, resolutions of this nature are routine and tend to pass with minimal debate. However, any discussions around the adjournment dates might involve considerations of pending legislation that may not have been addressed prior to the adjournment.
