Summary — JRS 19: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on March 28, 2025

Bill number: JRS 19
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on March 28, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution (legislative scheduling/procedural)
Primary sponsor: Sen. Philip Baruth
Introduced: March 25, 2025
Status: Adopted by both Senate and House (concurred) — March 28, 2025

Purpose

JRS 19 is a procedural joint resolution whose principal purpose is to set or recognize a weekend adjournment on March 28, 2025. In practice, the resolution governs the Legislature’s own schedule for that date (for example, adjourning for the weekend or changing the regular session schedule on/around March 28).

Key provisions (based on available information)

  • Establishes or confirms an adjournment of the legislative session for the weekend on March 28, 2025.
  • Because this is a joint resolution about legislative scheduling, it does not create new statutory law or appropriate funds; its effect is to change the Legislature’s internal calendar for the specified date.

(Note: The official text of the resolution is not included in the provided materials. The above reflects the resolution’s stated title and procedural character.)

Who is affected

  • Legislators (Senate and House members) and legislative staff: alters when they are scheduled to be in session or available on March 28, 2025.
  • Committee meeting schedules, lobbyists, members of the public who follow or attend sessions, and any administrative staff who manage floor activities or public access.
  • No direct effect on state programs, budgets, or private parties beyond the procedural scheduling change.

Timeline and legislative actions

  • 2025-03-25: Introduced; read and adopted.
  • 2025-03-26: Read and adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-03-28: House message — House adopted in concurrence.
  • 2025-03-28: Final status noted as “As adopted by Senate and House.”

The resolution was processed and adopted by both chambers between March 25 and March 28, 2025, making the adjournment effective for the prescribed date.

Procedural and practical impact

  • JRS 19 is a short-form, internal scheduling measure. It adjusts the legislative calendar and does not change state law or appropriations.
  • It takes effect immediately for the purpose of scheduling (i.e., it applies to the March 28, 2025 adjournment).
  • If special sessions, emergency measures, or other scheduling overrides were required, those would be handled separately.
