SCR 1 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to the adoption of the Joint Rules of the Senate and Assembly for the 2025–26 Regular Session.

SCR 1 adopts the existing Joint Rules for California's 2025-26 Regular Session (from Senate Concurrent Resolution 1) to govern the 2025-26 First Extraordinary Session, with specific exceptions. It excludes certain rules (51, 54, 55, 61, and part of 62) related to hearing notices and requires the extraordinary session to follow the same recess schedule as the regular session, except for one joint recess. This procedural bill directly affects how the Senate and Assembly operate during the extraordinary session, without creating new policy or impacting constituents. The bill was approved by the Senate in December 2024 but died in the Assembly in February 2025.
