Summary — JRS 21: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 11, 2025

Bill number: JRS 21
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 11, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution (procedural)
Primary sponsor: Sen. Philip Baruth
Introduced: April 8, 2025
Status: Adopted by the Senate and House (as of April 11, 2025)

Purpose

JRS 21 is a short, procedural joint resolution whose sole purpose is to provide for a weekend adjournment of the legislative session on or around April 11, 2025. It does not enact substantive policy changes or create new statutory obligations; it adjusts the legislative schedule.

Key provisions

  • Orders or records an adjournment for the legislature for the weekend period beginning April 11, 2025.
  • Because it is a joint resolution concerning legislative procedure, it addresses scheduling only (no new programs, spending, or regulatory changes are included in the text available).

Who is affected

  • Members of the Senate and House (their schedule and floor/calendar activities around the adjournment date).
  • Legislative staff, committee schedules, and anyone tracking bill hearings or floor action (dates for committee meetings, deadlines, or public hearings may be shifted or paused during the adjournment).
  • The public and stakeholders monitoring legislative activity who may need to adjust plans for advocacy, testimony, or attendance.

Procedural timeline / legislative actions

  • April 8, 2025 — Read and adopted (introduced)
  • April 9, 2025 — Read and adopted in concurrence
  • April 11, 2025 — House message: House adopted in concurrence; final status recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House”

Notes / Implications

  • As a scheduling resolution, JRS 21 has immediate effect on the legislature’s calendar but does not require the governor’s signature and does not alter law outside of legislative procedure.
  • The resolution’s practical impact is limited to shifting or formalizing the legislature’s temporary recess/adjournment for the specified weekend; any specific effects on deadlines or committee work depend on accompanying calendar orders or subsequent notices from chamber leadership.
