Summary — JRS 22: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 18, 2025

Bill number: JRS 22
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 18, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution
Introduced: April 15, 2025
Status: Adopted by Senate and House (final actions April 16–18, 2025)

Purpose / Intent

JRS 22 is a procedural resolution concerning the legislative adjournment schedule for the weekend of April 18, 2025. The resolution’s intent is to set, confirm, or adjust adjournment timing so that legislative business and related deadlines are clear and coordinated around that weekend.

Key provisions (based on title and legislative actions)

The full text was not provided. Based on the title and standard practice for similar joint resolutions, JRS 22 likely:

  • Declares or confirms the legislature’s adjournment for the weekend beginning April 18, 2025 (for example, adjourning until a specified date or hour following that weekend), or
  • Adjusts the official adjournment date/time when a regularly scheduled adjournment would fall on a weekend, or
  • Provides procedural direction about handling votes, sessions, or deadlines that would otherwise fall on April 18, 2025.

Because the resolution is procedural, it does not create substantive policy changes or appropriations.

Who is affected

  • Legislators and legislative staff (scheduling of sessions, committee meetings).
  • Executive agencies and clerks who track statutory deadlines tied to session dates or adjournment.
  • Members of the public or stakeholders planning to attend floor sessions or submit materials tied to legislative deadlines.

Procedural timeline & status

  • 2025-04-15: Read and adopted (introduced).
  • 2025-04-16: Read and adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-04-18: House message — House adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-04-18: Recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House.”

The resolution was enacted by both chambers in mid‑April 2025. Such procedural joint resolutions typically take effect immediately upon adoption for scheduling purposes.

Practical impact and considerations

  • Primarily administrative: clarifies scheduling and prevents confusion about deadlines that coincide with the weekend of April 18, 2025.
  • Interested parties should consult the official enrolled resolution (or legislative clerk) for exact language, the precise adjournment time/date specified, and any instructions about deadline extensions or session resumption.
