AI Summary
This concurrent resolution addresses a constitutional requirement in Texas regarding legislative adjournment. Specifically, it grants permission for each house of the 89th Texas Legislature to adjourn for more than three days during the period from Thursday, February 20, 2025, to Tuesday, February 25, 2025. This permission is necessary because Section 17, Article III of the Texas Constitution prohibits either house of the legislature from adjourning for more than three consecutive days without the consent of the other house. By passing this resolution, the Senate and House of Representatives mutually agree to allow each other to be in recess for this specified timeframe, ensuring compliance with the state constitution's procedural rules for legislative sessions.
