Bill > HJR0037

This joint resolution addresses the adjournment and reconvening of the One Hundred Fourteenth General Assembly of Tennessee, specifically providing for the organizational session to conclude at the close of business on Thursday, January 16, 2025, and then immediately transitioning into the 2025 regular session. The resolution is grounded in Article II, Section 8 of the Tennessee Constitution, which governs the convening of legislative sessions. By specifying the exact date and time of adjournment and subsequent reconvening, the resolution ensures a smooth and legally structured transition between the organizational session (which typically involves initial procedural matters like swearing in members and establishing committee assignments) and the regular legislative session (where substantive legislative work begins). The joint resolution requires concurrence from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, indicating it is a coordinated effort to manage the legislative calendar and proceedings of the Tennessee General Assembly.
