Minnesota House adjourns for lack of quorum, will reconvene Feb. 3, 2025
Summary
The Minnesota House of Representatives adjourned after the clerk pro tem closed the roll and announced there was no quorum; the chamber set a reconvene time of 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025.
The Minnesota House of Representatives adjourned without conducting business after the clerk pro tem closed the roll and announced there was no quorum, scheduling the next session for 3:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, 2025.
The chamber opened with a brief moment of silent reflection and the Pledge of Allegiance before the roll was called. The clerk pro tem closed the roll and said, “There being no quorum under the constitution of the state of Minnesota, the house is adjourned until 3:30 PM, Monday, February 3, 2025.”
Because the roll showed fewer members than required to proceed, no motions were made and no votes were recorded on the public record during the session. The adjournment under the constitution of the state of Minnesota pauses consideration of any items that had been on the agenda until the chamber reconvenes.
The record indicates only ceremonial opening remarks and the adjournment; no legislative debate, committee reports or formal actions were taken before the session was suspended.
