A concurrent resolution to provide for adjournment sine die.
The enactment of SCR101 will effectively signify the end of legislative operations for the particular session. This resolution is important for both the Senate and House of Representatives as it provides a clear timeline for the conclusion of their legislative duties. It allows for planning of post-session activities, including evaluation and assessment of bills passed during the session, and gives legislators and stakeholders clarity regarding the legislative calendar.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 101, introduced by the Rules and Administration committee, aims to establish the official adjournment date for the 2024 Regular Session of the Ninetieth General Assembly. Specifically, the resolution states that the final adjournment will occur on Friday, April 19, 2024. This decision is an administrative one, marking the conclusion of legislative activities for the session and is crucial for proper planning and reporting on session outcomes.
There are typically few points of contention surrounding adjournment resolutions, as they often receive broad support across party lines due to their procedural nature. However, the timing of adjournment might lead to discussion or debate, particularly if there are outstanding issues or bills that have not been resolved prior to the set date. Legislators might express concerns regarding unaddressed legislative matters or advocate for an extension if necessary.
