Plain Language Summary

This resolution modifies the 2025 legislative session schedule by shifting adjournment and reconvening dates two days earlier (from Tuesdays to Mondays/Thursdays) and moving the start time from noon to 10:00 A.M. across multiple session breaks from September 2025 through April 2026. The changes maintain the same limited scope of business allowed during each reconvening period, focusing on disaster recovery bills and conference reports filed by the July 31/September 25 deadline.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters may argue that the earlier start times (10:00 A.M. instead of noon) and shifted dates allow legislators to conduct business more efficiently and provide additional working time during busy legislative periods.
• •The changes could reduce the number of days the legislature needs to remain in extended session while still allowing completion of necessary conference reports and disaster recovery measures.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents might contend that the schedule changes create confusion and complexity, potentially disadvantaging legislators or staff with limited flexibility in planning.
• •Some may argue that tightening the schedule pressures the legislative process and limits time for careful consideration of bills, particularly those addressing disaster recovery which may require thorough deliberation.
