JRS 38 Vermont Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Joint resolution relating to weekend adjournment on January 30, 2026

This procedural joint resolution (JRS 38) directs the Vermont legislature to adjourn on Friday, January 30, 2026, and reconvene no later than Tuesday, February 3, 2026. It affects the Vermont Senate and House of Representatives by setting a specific schedule for their next meeting after a Friday adjournment. The key provision is a mandated weekend break with a defined reconvene date, skipping the weekend. This is a scheduling adjustment, not a substantive policy change.

MODERATE

This is a formatting-only change to a joint resolution scheduling a weekend adjournment. The substantive content remains identical: both chambers will adjourn on Friday, January 30, 2026 and reconvene no later than Tuesday, February 3, 2026. The changes involve reformatting the header, removing the 'Montpelier, Vermont' location line, adjusting line breaks, and updating the internal document tracking number.

TECHNICAL

Header reformatted from 'State of Vermont / Senate Chamber' to a numbered page format (R-248, Page 1 of 1, 2026).

The location line 'Montpelier, Vermont' and the label 'Joint Senate Resolution' were removed from the body.

A line break was shifted within the resolution text (after 'no' instead of before it), with no change in meaning.

Internal document tracking number changed from VT LEG #386909 v.1 to VT LEG #387708 v.1.
