Summary: SJR 6005 — Adjournment Sine Die of the First Extraordinary Session (114th General Assembly)

Overview

SJR 6005 is a Senate Joint Resolution from the 114th General Assembly of Tennessee. Its sole purpose is to declare the adjournment sine die of the First Extraordinary Session. The resolution was introduced on January 30, 2025, and has been signed by the Governor, ending the session without a specified date to reconvene.

  • Bill: Senate Joint Resolution 6005 (SJR 6005)
  • Sponsor: Johnson
  • Title: A resolution to provide for the adjournment sine die of the First Extraordinary Session of the One Hundred Fourteenth General Assembly
  • Status: Signed by Governor
  • Classification: Joint Resolution
  • Subject: Adjournment of the General Assembly

Purpose and Intent

  • The primary intent of SJR 6005 is to formally adjourn the First Extraordinary Session of the 114th General Assembly “sine die” (without setting a future reconvening date).
  • This action marks the official end of the extraordinary session at the close of business in both chambers on January 30, 2025.

Key Provisions

  • Establishes that the First Extraordinary Session shall stand in adjournment sine die at the close of business in both houses on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
  • Contains no substantive policy changes or legislative enactments; its purpose is strictly procedural, finalizing the session's end.

Affected Parties and Impact

  • Affected Entity: Tennessee General Assembly (both chambers) and the executive branch in relation to session scheduling.
  • Practical effect: Any legislative business that was not enacted during the First Extraordinary Session would generally not carry over automatically into another session; the session is terminated. Future actions would require convening a new session or another extraordinary session if needed.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduction: January 30, 2025
  • House actions: Rules suspended and voice vote adoption; engrossed, ready for transmission (January 30, 2025)
  • Senate actions: Concurred in Rules; transmitted (January 30, 2025)
  • Enrolled and signed by presiding officers: February 4, 2025
  • Transmission to Governor: February 4–5, 2025
  • Governor’s action: February 10, 2025 (signed)
  • Final status: Signed by Governor; effective as an adjournment directive for the January 30, 2025 close of business

Additional Context

  • The resolution reflects the procedural closing of the First Extraordinary Session. It does not amend or create substantive laws; it simply confirms that the session ends with adjournment sine die.

If you’d like, I can add a brief note comparing “adjournment sine die” with other adjournment types (e.g., adjournment to reconvene) for readers unfamiliar with legislative terms.
