SCR 20 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Granting the legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the period beginning on Thursday, February 27, 2025, and ending on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

This bill (SCR 20) is a procedural resolution granting the Texas legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the specific period of February 27-March 4, 2025. It directly affects both the Texas House and Senate, as it seeks mutual consent to extend their recess beyond the constitutional limit of three days without such approval. The resolution formally complies with Texas Constitution Article III, Section 17, which requires cross-house permission for extended adjournments. As a procedural measure, it does not change laws or impact constituents.
