Summary — JRS 14: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on February 21, 2025

Purpose and intent

JRS 14 is a short, procedural joint resolution concerning a weekend adjournment of the Legislature on February 21, 2025. Its apparent purpose is to set or formalize an adjournment (a temporary suspension of floor proceedings) that affects both the Senate and the House for that date. The resolution is an internal legislative measure governing the Legislature’s schedule rather than substantive policy.
