Senate converts override session to work session, adjourns until June 3
Summary
The Senate announced it has converted an override session into a work session to finish work on an education bill, will hold token sessions until a June 16 meeting, and adjourned until 11:00 a.m. on June 3, 2025.
An unidentified presiding senator announced that the Senate has converted what had been planned as an override session into a work session to complete action on an education bill and adjourned the body until 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
The presiding senator said, "We have now converted into a work session, among other things to finish necessary action on the education bill." The senator added, "We did not get to the finish line, but that's alright. It's an extremely complicated area of policy work, and I think an additional 2 weeks all to the good, in terms of getting a finished final product."
The change means the Legislature will hold only "token sessions" between now and the next scheduled session on June 16, the presiding senator said, noting that limited parliamentary work such as filing bills can occur during that period but that "no real action" is expected until June 16. The presiding senator also thanked senators, conferees and Senate staff for their efforts in recent late-night work on the education bill.
Acting "pursuant to rule 9 of the Senate rules," and because there was not a quorum present, the presiding officer declared the Senate adjourned until 11:00 a.m. on June 3, 2025. The announcement did not include any votes or formal decisions on the substance of the education bill.
The procedural shift delays final floor action on the education measure; the timeline for any votes or the text of the final bill were not specified in the remarks.
