Summary — JRS 9: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on January 31, 2025

Bill number: JRS 9
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on January 31, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution (legislative procedural measure)

Purpose and intent

JRS 9 is a procedural legislative resolution that establishes a weekend adjournment for the legislature on January 31, 2025. Its primary purpose is to modify the legislative schedule for that specific date by directing both chambers to adjourn for the weekend.

Key provisions

  • Directs the Senate and House to adjourn for the weekend on January 31, 2025.
  • Procedural in nature — relates to internal scheduling and operations of the two chambers rather than substantive public policy.
  • Adopted in concurrence by both chambers (dates of legislative actions listed below).

(Full text of the resolution was not provided in the materials supplied; the above is drawn from the resolution title and procedural history.)

Who is affected

  • Legislators: alters their schedule and any floor or committee activities originally planned for that date.
  • Legislative staff: changes work schedules, deadlines, and support for floor/committee activity.
  • Committee witnesses, lobbyists, and members of the public: hearings, bill deadlines, or opportunities to testify may be postponed or rescheduled because of the adjournment.
  • State agencies or other stakeholders planning to appear before the legislature on or around January 31, 2025.

Procedural timeline and status

  • 2025-01-28: Read & adopted (introduced and immediately acted on in one chamber).
  • 2025-01-29: Read and adopted in concurrence (action taken by the other chamber).
  • 2025-01-30: House message: House adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-01-30: Status recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House.”
    Because this is a scheduling resolution adopted by both chambers, it took effect for the legislative calendar immediately upon adoption.

Impact and significance

  • No change to substantive law or policy; the resolution solely adjusts the legislative calendar for a specific date.
  • Short-term operational effects include rescheduling floor activity, committee meetings, bill deadlines, and public participation opportunities around January 31, 2025.
  • Generally does not require gubernatorial signature; enforcement and details are handled under each chamber’s rules.
