Summary
The Florida Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 1294 on March 4, 2025, scheduling a joint session with the House at 11 a.m. that day to receive a message from the governor; motions to certify the resolution and to notify the House and governor were adopted without objection.
The Florida Senate on March 4, 2025, adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 1294, setting a joint session with the House of Representatives at 11 a.m. that day for the purpose of receiving a message from the governor.
The measure was moved on the floor by the chamber's rules chair and taken up by the Senate; the secretary read the resolution aloud. The measure—titled “a concurrent resolution providing that the House of Representatives and the Senate convene in joint session for the purpose of receiving a message from the governor”—specifies the joint session time as 11:00 a.m. on 03/04/2025.
Senators adopted the concurrent resolution by voice vote. Following adoption, the rules chair successfully moved that the rules be waived so SCR 1294 could be immediately certified to the House; that motion carried without objection. The rules chair also moved that the secretary notify the House of Representatives and the governor that the Senate was convened and ready to proceed; that motion was adopted without objection.
The Senate took these actions by voice vote/no objection; no roll-call tally was recorded on the floor for the concurrent resolution. After floor action, the presiding officer directed senators and invited guests to proceed to the House chamber for the joint session.
The Senate also adopted a motion to adjourn until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12 (or upon the call of the president) for committee meetings and other business; that motion was adopted without objection.
