Impact
The impact of SJR0029 is limited to procedural changes within the legislative calendar of the Tennessee General Assembly. By specifying recesses and reconvene times, the resolution is structured to ensure that legislative proceedings can continue in an organized manner. While this is a standard practice within legislative bodies, having an official resolution serves to formalize the process and provide clarity to both members of the General Assembly and the public about the legislative schedule.
Summary

The resolution proposes to provide for a recess in the proceedings of the One Hundred Fourteenth General Assembly. It establishes a specific date and time for the legislature to stand in recess, marking the end of business on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

Contention
Notably, the discussions surrounding SJR0029 did not reveal significant points of contention. The nature of the resolution, which is administrative in nature, likely means that it received broad support from legislators, thus avoiding the contentious debates often associated with policy or budgetary bills. Instead, the resolution serves as a procedural formalization aimed at maintaining the integrity and order of legislative operations.
