A presiding officer announced and the Senate adopted Joint Resolution JRS 43, which sets the adjournment and reconvening timeline for the legislature. The resolution states that when the two houses adjourn on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, they are to meet again no later than Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024.
A chamber reader presented the text of the resolution, and the presiding officer put the question on adoption. The measure was approved by voice vote; the presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it and you have adopted JRS 43." No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The resolution is procedural: it schedules the legislature's adjournment and return date rather than enacting programmatic policy. No amendments or substantive debate were recorded on the floor during the reading and vote. Next steps are administrative execution of the adjournment date and any calendaring required to meet the return deadline.
