Summary — JRS 24: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on May 2, 2025

Bill number: JRS 24
Title: Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on May 2, 2025
Sponsor: Sen. Philip Baruth (primary)
Classification: Joint resolution
Status: Adopted by both Senate and House (as adopted by Senate and House)

Purpose / intent

This joint resolution addresses the legislative schedule by providing for an adjournment tied to the weekend that includes May 2, 2025. Its apparent purpose is to adjust the Legislature’s session/meeting schedule so that business is recessed or adjourned for the weekend beginning on or immediately after May 2, 2025.

Key provisions (based on available information)

  • The text of the resolution is not included in the packet provided. The title indicates the resolution authorizes an adjournment related to the weekend of May 2, 2025.
  • Because it is a joint resolution about adjournment, its content likely specifies:
    • the date and time at which the chambers will adjourn for the weekend (May 2, 2025, or immediately following proceedings that day),
    • whether the adjournment is sine die or to a specific return day and time, and
    • any qualifications about committee meetings or other legislative activity during the adjournment.
  • The resolution does not appear to create or amend substantive statutory law; it functions to set or modify internal legislative scheduling.

Who is affected

  • Members of the Vermont Senate and House and legislative staff (meeting schedules, deadlines, and availability).
  • Committees and legislative stakeholders (timing for hearings, votes, and procedural deadlines).
  • Members of the public who follow or participate in legislative business (scheduling for public testimony, access to chamber sessions).

Procedural timeline / actions

  • Introduced: April 29, 2025
  • April 29, 2025: Read & adopted in the Senate
  • April 30, 2025: Read and adopted in concurrence
  • May 1, 2025: House messages indicate adoption in concurrence; final status recorded as “As adopted by Senate and House”
  • Final adoption date: May 1, 2025

Legal/Practical effect

  • As a scheduling joint resolution, its primary effect is procedural — changing adjournment times or authorizing a recess for the weekend. It does not, by itself, create new statutory obligations or appropriations.
  • For exact operative language (e.g., return date/time or exceptions), consult the official enrolled resolution or the legislative journal entry for JRS 24.
