To allow the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 124th Indiana General Assembly to adjourn and recess separately throughout the First Regular Session for periods in excess of three (3) cons A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION to allow the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 124th Indiana General Assembly to adjourn and recess separately throughout the First Regular Session for periods in excess of three (3) consecutive days as the need, in the judgment of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, respectively, may arise.
This bill proposes to give the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 124th Indiana General Assembly the ability to adjourn and recess separately for more than three consecutive days during the First Regular Session, as deemed necessary by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. This would allow for more flexibility in scheduling legislative work and breaks.
The bill would affect both the House of Representatives and the Senate, giving them the autonomy to manage their schedules without being bound to the same three-day limit for recesses. This could help streamline legislative processes and accommodate unforeseen circumstances that might require extended breaks.
Currently, the bill has just been introduced and passed its first reading in the Senate with a voice vote on January 8, 2025. It is now ready for further consideration in the legislative process.
