Purpose and intent

JRS 25 is a procedural joint resolution that schedules or recognizes a weekend adjournment for the legislature on May 9, 2025. Its primary purpose is to set or confirm a temporary pause in legislative business on that specific date (a Friday/Saturday weekend adjournment), consistent with chamber rules for scheduling session days and recesses.

Key provisions

Declares a weekend adjournment on May 9, 2025.

Applies to both legislative chambers (it was adopted by both the Senate and the House).

Procedural in nature — it manages legislative scheduling rather than creating or amending substantive law.

Note: The full text of the resolution was not provided. The summary above reflects the resolution’s title, sponsor, and procedural status. Typical provisions in similar adjournment resolutions may include instructions to clerks, designation of when business will resume, or technical directions for how interim matters are handled; specific language for JRS 25 is not available in the provided record.

Who or what is affected

Members of the legislature (Senators and Representatives) — schedule and availability on May 9, 2025.

Legislative staff and committee operations — committee meetings and staff work schedules may be adjusted.

External stakeholders (advocates, lobbyists, agencies, members of the public) tracking legislation or planning testimony — scheduling changes could affect availability and deadlines.

No direct impact on statutory rights or public programs; the resolution governs internal legislative scheduling.

Procedural/timeline notes

The resolution was introduced May 6, 2025 and was adopted rapidly by both chambers (final concurrence recorded May 8, 2025).

As a joint resolution about legislative scheduling, it is an internal legislative action; it typically does not require executive (governor) approval to take effect, but that can vary by jurisdiction.

Because the adopted action is procedural, any substantive bills scheduled around May 9, 2025 may see hearings, votes, or deadlines shifted according to the adjournment order.
