Bill > HCR36

This resolution, adopted by the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, authorizes a joint convention, which is a meeting of both the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate together, to be held in the House Chambers on March 11, 2026. The primary purpose of this joint convention is to formally receive the Governor's annual message on the State of the State, a speech where the Governor typically outlines the condition of the state and proposes legislative priorities. To facilitate this, the resolution also calls for the appointment of a committee of nine members from the House and eight from the Senate to formally invite the Governor to address the legislature. The resolution further specifies that the House's rules and customs will be followed during the joint session and directs the Clerk of the House to send authenticated copies of this resolution to the Governor and to Ohio's news media.
