SCR 7 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Granting the legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the period beginning on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and ending on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

SCR 7 is a procedural resolution that asks both houses of the Texas legislature to grant each other permission to adjourn for more than three days during the week of January 15-22, 2025. This request complies with Article III, Section 17 of the Texas Constitution, which normally requires mutual consent for adjournments exceeding three days. The resolution does not change laws or affect any specific group; it only modifies the legislature's scheduling procedures for that specific period. As a procedural measure, it has no substantive policy impact.
