Summary — JRS 26: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on May 16, 2025

Status: As adopted by Senate and House
Introduced: May 13, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution

Main purpose

JRS 26 is a short, procedural joint resolution that sets or authorizes a weekend adjournment of the legislature on May 16, 2025. The resolution governs the Legislature’s schedule rather than creating substantive statutory policy.

Key provisions (based on title and legislative actions)

  • Provides for adjournment of the legislative session for the weekend beginning May 16, 2025.
  • Because it is a joint resolution adopted by both chambers, it governs internal legislative procedure and scheduling for the affected date(s).
  • No text was supplied with the bill summary request; the available record indicates adoption by both chambers rather than amendment to substantive law.

Who is affected

  • Members of the Senate and House (their floor and committee schedules for the affected date).
  • Legislative staff and support personnel (work schedules and assignments).
  • Members of the public and stakeholders who monitor or participate in legislative proceedings (committee hearings, floor debates, bill votes scheduled for that period).
  • Pending measures that might otherwise have been scheduled for action on or immediately after May 16, 2025 (their consideration could be postponed or rescheduled).

Timeline and procedural history

  • May 13, 2025: Introduced; read and adopted (initial action).
  • May 14, 2025: Read and adopted in concurrence.
  • May 16, 2025: House message indicates concurrence; recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House.”
  • Adoption by both chambers indicates the resolution’s schedule provisions took effect per legislative rules once adopted (no executive signature is required for internal joint resolutions).

Practical impact and considerations

  • This type of resolution typically pauses or shifts legislative business for the specified weekend; it does not change permanent law or appropriate funds.
  • Effects are primarily procedural: rescheduling of floor action or committee work, temporary adjustment to deadlines or calendars handled under chamber rules.
  • Constituents and lobbyists should check updated calendars for rescheduled hearings or votes. Legislative staff or the legislature’s official website/clerk’s office can provide the exact text and any follow-up scheduling information.

For the exact operative language and any related calendar changes, consult the official enrolled resolution text on the legislature’s website or contact the clerk of the Senate or House.
