Bill Summary

To allow the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 124th Indiana General Assembly to adjourn and recess separately throughout the First Regular Session for periods in excess of three (3) cons A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION to allow the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 124th Indiana General Assembly to adjourn and recess separately throughout the First Regular Session for periods in excess of three (3) consecutive days as the need, in the judgment of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, respectively, may arise.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution addresses the procedural requirements for the Indiana House of Representatives and Senate to adjourn and recess separately during the First Regular Session of the 124th Indiana General Assembly. Specifically, the resolution provides consent for each chamber to take recesses or adjournments lasting more than three consecutive days, as determined by their respective leadership (the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate). This is necessary because the Indiana State Constitution prohibits either legislative house from adjourning for more than three consecutive days without the consent of the other house. In this instance, the resolution acknowledges the chambers' intent to recess after November 19, 2024, and reconvene on January 8, 2025. The resolution requires the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to inform the Senate of its passage, thus formally providing the required inter-chamber consent for extended recesses during the legislative session.
