A RESOLUTION to provide for the adjournment sine die of the One Hundred Thirteenth General Assembly.
The resolution signifies the completion of all business for the current legislative session, allowing for a structured conclusion to session activities. It includes a provision that any committee, whether standing, special, select, or ad hoc, may convene post-adjournment to discuss essential state matters within their jurisdiction. This ensures that important legislative work can continue even after the Assembly has officially adjourned.
HJR1506 is a Joint Resolution from the House of Representatives of the One Hundred Thirteenth General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, which proposes the adjournment sine die of the Assembly. The resolution stipulates that the Assembly will conclude its legislative business on April 25, 2024. This formal act is necessary for the completion of the legislative cycle for the current session and marks the end of the Assembly's ongoing responsibilities at that time.
While resolutions such as HJR1506 typically do not spark significant contention in the legislature, the conversations and discussions around adjournment can sometimes reveal differing opinions on the accomplishments and direction of the Assembly. Members may voice concerns over unfinished business, pending legislation that requires further consideration, and the implications of adjourning before addressing specific state issues, which could affect how committees function going forward.
