Summary — SCR 23: A Concurrent Resolution to Provide for the Final Adjournment of the Legislature

Status: Enrolled and filed with Secretary of State (Res. Chapter 76, Statutes of 2025)
Introduced by: Senator Sam Singh
Type: Senate Concurrent Resolution (procedural)
Primary purpose: Set the dates and times for the legislature’s final adjournment (sine die) for the 2024 session.

Main purpose and intent

SCR 23 is a procedural, calendaring concurrent resolution that establishes specific adjournment times for the two legislative houses and directs that the Legislature stand finally adjourned (sine die) at the conclusion of the stated dates. Its intent is to fix the end of the 2024 legislative session and the brief interim reconvening schedule before final adjournment.

Key provisions

  • When the Senate adjourns on December 20, 2024, it shall stand adjourned until December 30, 2024, at 11:30 a.m.
  • When the House of Representatives adjourns on December 19, 2024, it shall stand adjourned until December 31, 2024, at 1:30 p.m.
  • When the Legislature adjourns on December 31, 2024, it shall stand adjourned without day (sine die) — i.e., the session is finally adjourned with no scheduled date to reconvene.

Who is affected

  • Members of the Senate and House, legislative staff, committee members, and lobbyists (by establishing the official schedule for final action).
  • The public and stakeholders whose bills, resolutions, or other matters are pending before the Legislature — measures not enacted by final adjournment generally do not become law in that session unless specific carryover rules apply.
  • State agencies and officials that work with the Legislature on bill implementation, reporting, or required actions tied to session deadlines.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced and adopted by the Senate on December 20, 2024 (introduced by Senator Sam Singh). The resolution sets precise reconvening times (Dec 30 and Dec 31, 2024) prior to final sine die adjournment.
  • The resolution was subsequently enrolled and filed with the Secretary of State (May 29, 2025) and recorded as Res. Chapter 76, Statutes of 2025.
  • As a concurrent resolution, it is an internal legislative instrument requiring concurrence of both houses; it does not create enforceable public law or require executive signature in the way a statute does. Its effect is to govern the Legislature’s own schedule and the procedural cutoff for the session.

Impact

The resolution has no substantive policy or fiscal effects. Its principal impact is procedural: it fixes the legislative calendar for the end of the 2024 session and thereby determines the window remaining for final committee action, floor votes, and the fate of pending measures.
