What the resolution is about

The resolution’s title indicates it concerns “weekend adjournment” — i.e., it addresses the legislature’s adjournment schedule as it relates to a weekend. The official text of JRS 23 was not provided with the material you supplied; therefore the precise language and specific operative provisions are not available in this summary.

Based on the title and the procedural posture, the resolution likely does one of the following (common uses of similar joint resolutions):
- Establishes or modifies the time and/or date of adjournment so that the legislature adjourns on, before, or after a particular weekend; or
- Grants authorization for an adjournment that extends into or over a weekend (a temporary recess or suspension of daily session during weekend dates); or
- Makes a short-term change to chamber rules or scheduling that affects weekend meetings or deadlines.

Who would be affected

  • Legislators and legislative staff (meeting schedules, deadlines, committee work)
  • Members of the public who follow hearings or need to interact with the Legislature (scheduling of public testimony, access to sessions)
  • Any administrative offices that support sessions (clerk, sergeant-at-arms, legislative services)

Procedural/implementation notes

  • As a joint resolution adopted by both chambers, JRS 23 governs the Legislature’s internal scheduling or rules for the session to which it applies.
  • Such resolutions generally take effect immediately for scheduling purposes once adopted by both chambers, without further executive action (practices may vary by jurisdiction).
  • Because the resolution text is not included here, for exact operative language, effective dates, and any exceptions or instructions you should consult the enrolled resolution on the Legislature’s official website or contact the legislative clerk.
