Bill Summary · SJR 26

Overview

  • Bill: SJR 26-026
  • Session: Colorado Second Regular Session, Seventy-fifth General Assembly (2026)
  • Type: Senate Joint Resolution
  • Sponsor: Senate (Rodriguez, Coleman, Simpson); House (Duran, McCluskie, Caldwell)
  • Purpose: To adjourn the Second Regular Session of the Seventy-fifth General Assembly “sine die” (without a formal, predetermined date for reconvening)

Main Purpose and Intent

  • The resolution states that when the Second Regular Session adjourns on May 13, 2026, the session shall stand adjourned sine die.
  • In practical terms, this announces the end of the legislative session unless reconvened for a special session or addressed by subsequent legislative action.

Key Provisions

  • Adjournment Status: Declares that the Second Regular Session will adjourn sine die on May 13, 2026.
  • No Additional Provisions: The text provided does not include additional policy changes, appropriations, or procedural mechanisms beyond establishing sine die adjournment.

Who/What Is Affected

  • The Colorado General Assembly: The formal adjournment of the ongoing legislative session.
  • Legislators and legislative staff: Affects scheduling, deadlines, and the implicit window for finalizing bills during the regular session.
  • Stakeholders and the public: Signals the end of the current session’s regular work unless a special session is called or another rule changes adjournment status.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Effective Date of Adjournment: May 13, 2026, at the point the Second Regular Session ends, per the resolution.
  • Adjournment Type: Sine die (without organized reconvening on a prescheduled date for typical continuation of business).
  • Legislative Process Context: As a joint resolution, it expresses the performing body’s determination regarding session adjournment rather than enacting substantive policy changes.

Potential Impacts and Considerations

  • Legislative Workflow: With sine die adjournment, most bill passage and amendments in the regular session would be concluded; any further action would require a special session or interim actions to continue legislative business.
  • Fiscal/Policy Implications: No direct fiscal or policy changes are enshrined in the resolution itself; it primarily affects session timing and procedural posture.
  • Public Communication: Provides a clear signal to the public and government entities about the formal end of the current regular session.

Note: The provided text contains only the adjournment language and does not include additional substantive provisions. If there are accompanying interim rules, deadlines, or anticipated special-session triggers, those would be outside the scope of this specific resolution.
