Summary — JRS 6: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on January 17, 2025

Bill type: Joint resolution
Bill number: JRS 6
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on January 17, 2025

Purpose and intent

JRS 6 is a scheduling resolution whose stated purpose is to provide for an adjournment of the legislature over the weekend of January 17, 2025. The resolution addresses only the timing of legislative proceedings rather than substantive policy or appropriations.

Key provisions

  • Provides for a weekend adjournment on January 17, 2025.
  • No other substantive policy changes, appropriations, or statutory amendments are indicated in the available document content.
  • Classified as a joint resolution, requiring action by both chambers.

Note: The full text of the resolution is not included in the materials provided; the summary above reflects the title and legislative actions recorded.

Who is affected

  • Members of the House and Senate (scheduling of floor sessions and committee work).
  • Legislative staff and support personnel (work schedules, staffing needs).
  • Public participants (advocates, lobbyists, and members of the public who engage with the legislature may have limited access or opportunity to participate during the adjournment period).
  • Agencies or stakeholders with deadlines tied to legislative session days could be impacted if the adjournment alters filing or reporting schedules.

Procedural timeline and actions

  • 2025-01-14: Read & adopted (first chamber).
  • 2025-01-15: Read and adopted in concurrence (second chamber).
  • 2025-01-16: House message: House adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-01-16: As adopted by Senate and House (final adoption).

Because the resolution was adopted by both chambers within days of introduction, it took effect for scheduling purposes immediately upon adoption unless a different effective date was specified in the full text.

Impact summary

The practical effect of JRS 6 is limited to legislative scheduling: it authorizes or records an adjournment over the weekend of January 17, 2025. It does not, based on available information, change law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. For the exact language, operative provisions, and any ancillary instructions (e.g., reconvening date, suspension of deadlines), consult the official enrolled resolution or legislative records.
