To amend the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to adjust the timing of the Congressional summer adjournment, and other purposes.
HR 5459 adjusts the Congressional summer schedule by moving the start of the summer break from July 31 to June 30 and ending the break earlier, shifting the end date from Labor Day to the first Monday in August. This procedural bill directly affects Congress's calendar, changing when lawmakers return from summer recess. The amendments take effect when the second session of the 119th Congress convenes. It does not alter policy or impact the public.
