Granting the legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the period beginning on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, and ending on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
This bill (SCR 47) grants the Texas legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the specific period of April 16-22, 2025. It addresses a constitutional requirement (Article III, Section 17) that normally limits adjournments to three days without consent from the other legislative chamber. The resolution allows both houses to bypass this restriction for the stated timeframe. As a procedural measure, it directly affects the Texas legislature’s scheduling flexibility during that week, with no substantive policy changes.
