Summary of SCR 292 (2026 Regular Session, Kentucky)

Purpose

SCR 292 is a concurrent resolution that formalizes the adjournment of the Kentucky General Assembly for the 2026 Regular Session. It specifies that the session will adjourn sine die (without setting a time to reconvene) on a particular date and governs when the Legislature may reconvene.

Key Provisions

  • Adjournment Date and Die-Adjournment:
    • The Kentucky Senate and House of Representatives will adjourn sine die on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
  • Reconvening:
    • The General Assembly shall not convene again until the first occurring of the 2027 Regular Session on Tuesday, January 5, 2027, or an extraordinary session called by the Governor.
  • Form of Action:
    • This is a concurrent resolution, meaning it represents the joint voice of both chambers (Senate and House) requesting/agreeing to the sine die adjournment plan.

Who/What Is Affected

  • Legislators and Legislative Sessions:
    • The measure affects the schedule and operation of the Kentucky General Assembly by designating the end date of the 2026 Regular Session and the earliest permissible reconvening date.
  • Governor's Role:
    • The Governor retains the authority to call an extraordinary session, which could override the standard January 2027 reconvening date if invoked.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Effective Action:
    • Adjourning sine die is the formal conclusion of the 2026 Regular Session, after which no further legislative business is conducted until reconvening per the provisions above.
  • Next Regular Session:
    • The default earliest starting point for the next regular session is January 5, 2027.
  • Extraordinary Session Trigger:
    • An extraordinary session could be convened at any time by the Governor, potentially altering the schedule set by this resolution.
  • Sponsors:
    • Co-sponsor: Senator Max Wise.

Practical Implications

  • Provides clear end date for the 2026 legislative work and a defined earliest return date.
  • Leaves open the possibility of an early or additional session if the Governor calls an extraordinary session.
  • Helps with budgeting, administrative planning, and public communication by establishing a known calendar framework for the next legislative year.

If you need, I can add a quick comparison to typical adjournment dates in Kentucky or explain how sine die adjournments interact with interim committees and session calendars.
