Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to adjust the timing of the Congressional summer adjournment, and other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to change the timing of the Congressional summer adjournment by moving the date from July 31 to June 30. Specifically, the bill modifies the language around Congressional recess, shifting the period of adjournment from the traditional timeframe that ran from August through the first Monday after Labor Day to a new period from July through the first Monday in August. The effective date for these changes is set to coincide with the convening of the second session of the 119th Congress. This modification effectively shortens the summer congressional recess by approximately one month, potentially allowing for more legislative work during the summer period and changing the traditional legislative calendar. The bill is relatively straightforward in its proposed changes, focusing solely on adjusting the timing of Congressional adjournment.
