Summary — JRS 20: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 4, 2025

Bill number: JRS 20
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on April 4, 2025
Sponsor: Sen. Philip Baruth (primary)
Introduced: April 1, 2025
Status: Adopted by both Senate and House (as adopted by Senate and House)

Purpose and intent

JRS 20 is a short, procedural joint resolution that designates April 4, 2025 as a weekend adjournment day for the legislative body. The resolution’s primary intent is to modify the legislative calendar for that specific date so that April 4, 2025 is treated as an adjournment day.

Key provisions

  • Declares April 4, 2025 to be a weekend adjournment day for the legislature (the text of the resolution provides the formal designation).
  • Applies only to the specified date and does not, on its face, create other substantive law changes.

(The full text of the resolution would include the exact operative language; this summary is based on the title and adoption history of JRS 20.)

Who is affected

  • Legislators and legislative staff: scheduling, availability, and travel plans for that date.
  • Committees and legislative offices: committee meetings, deadlines, and planned business scheduled on or around April 4, 2025 may be shifted or canceled.
  • Members of the public and stakeholders who follow or participate in legislative business on that date.

Depending on how statutory or internal deadlines are tied to an “adjournment” date in existing rules or statutes, the formal designation could affect filing deadlines or timing of certain procedural actions. Parties with deadlines linked to adjournment should verify how this resolution interacts with those rules.

Procedural timeline

  • 2025-04-01: Introduced; Read & adopted (Senate).
  • 2025-04-02: Read and adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-04-03: House message: House adopted in concurrence; recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House.”

Effect and notes

  • JRS 20 is a procedural calendar action; its practical effect is limited to scheduling and internal legislative procedures for the specified date.
  • Because the resolution has been adopted by both chambers, it is in effect as a legislative action. Stakeholders should consult the legislature’s calendar and rules or legislative counsel for specifics about how this designation interacts with deadlines or other rules.
