A concurrent resolution prescribing the legislative schedule.

Impact

The resolution serves to organize and streamline the legislative process, helping to prevent any potential confusion regarding meeting times and the adjournment of sessions. By setting clear timelines for when each chamber will be in session or adjourned, it facilitates planning for legislators and staff, as well as for constituents who may wish to engage with their representatives during active legislative periods.

Summary

SCR0009, introduced by Senator Singh, is a concurrent resolution outlining the legislative schedule for both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The resolution specifies the dates and times at which each body will adjourn and reconvene, ensuring a structured approach to the legislative calendar. Specifically, it details the adjournments from late June through early September 2023, including specific times for each session.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding SCR0009 appeared largely neutral, as it primarily addresses procedural matters rather than policy changes or contentious issues. Since the resolution focuses on scheduling rather than substantive legislative content, it did not draw significant opposition or support from members beyond the typical procedural debates that accompany most legislative scheduling resolutions.

Contention

As a concurrent resolution, SCR0009 is unlikely to encounter significant contention, given that it prescribes a legislative schedule rather than making substantive changes to the law. The resolution's passage is typically seen as a matter of routine, aimed at ensuring order and consistency in the legislative process. However, members may still express opinions on specific dates or times based on their legislative priorities or personal commitments.
