Committee approves concurrent resolution setting 2026 legislative deadlines and clarifying executive‑session rule for labor negotiations
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution 34, which establishes deadlines and limits for the 2026 regular session and clarifies that certain labor negotiations are executive‑session matters, passed out of committee with a recommendation to adopt.
The Senate Committee on Rollers on June 23 advanced Senate Concurrent Resolution 34 to the floor with a recommendation that it be adopted. Committee staff told the panel the resolution establishes limitations and deadlines for legislative measures for the 2026 regular session of the 83rd Legislative Assembly and provides that certain labor negotiations are not legislative deliberations and should be conducted under executive session.
A senator asked for clarification and staff confirmed the resolution sets deadlines and the number of bills for the short session. Committee members then moved the resolution to the floor and, in roll call recorded in the transcript, the motion passed. Chair Johnson volunteered to carry the measure to the floor.
The staff summary indicated no fiscal impact. The transcript excerpt contains no outside witness testimony on the resolution.
