Status snapshot

- Related/companion measure: SCR 235
Purpose and intent
- SR 211 is an internal, procedural resolution of the Senate whose sole purpose is to authorize the appointment of a small committee to formally notify the House of Representatives that the Senate is prepared to adjourn sine die (i.e., adjournment that ends the legislative session without setting a date to reconvene).
- Such resolutions are routine at the close of a legislative session and are intended to effect the constitutional/statutory procedure for interhouse notification and formal adjournment.
Key provisions and changes
- Authorizes/requests the Senate leadership to appoint a committee (typically a small delegation of senators) to go to the House chamber and deliver formal notification that the Senate is ready to adjourn sine die.
- Directs the Clerk/Secretary as needed to carry out any customary clerical or notification duties associated with adjournment.
- Contains no substantive policy, regulatory, or funding provisions — it is purely procedural and internal to legislative operations.
Who or what is affected
- Direct effect is limited to the legislative bodies: members and officers of the Senate and the House (via the notification/ceremony).
- No impact on state agencies, private parties, or the public budget.
Procedural/timeline notes
- Introduced March 3, 2025; read and adopted on the Senate floor (rules suspended and read twice by title), and subsequently reported enrolled.
- Because it is an internal resolution, implementation occurs immediately through appointment of the notified committee once adopted; no executive action or governor signature is required.
- Companion resolution (SCR 235) may mirror or coordinate the House side of the adjournment process.
Document note / data anomaly
- The materials provided with this request include multiple unrelated resolution texts (memorials, reappointments, a heritage-month declaration, and an out‑of‑state resolution concerning towing of servicemembers’ vehicles). Those texts do not appear to be part of SR 211 as described by the bill title and procedural history above. Readers should consult the official enrolled SR 211 text from the Senate Clerk or legislative website to confirm the exact language and committee appointments.
