A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION fixing the date for the Second Regular Technical Session of the One Hundred Twenty-Second General Assembly.
The passing of SCR0047 has implications for the legislative calendar and procedural operations of the Indiana General Assembly. By formally setting the date for the Technical Session, it allows lawmakers to plan accordingly for the discussions and decisions that will take place during this period. It is crucial for maintaining the legislative agenda, especially concerning the matters that the assembly needs to address during the session.
SCR0047, the Senate Concurrent Resolution, aims to fix the date for the Second Regular Technical Session of the One Hundred Twenty-Second General Assembly of Indiana. Specifically, it establishes the date as Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at 1:30 PM, as authorized by Indiana Code 2-2.1-1-3.5. The resolution emphasizes the importance of setting a date for the Technical Session in the interests of organizational and legislative efficiency within the state government.
One notable point of consideration within the resolution is the provision that allows the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to jointly decide not to convene the Technical Session if they deem the cost and inconvenience of holding the meeting to be unjustifiable. This clause introduces a level of flexibility but may also raise questions about the criteria for such a decision and how it may affect legislative operations.
