Oregon Senate adjourns without quorum until Sept. 22
Summary
An unidentified speaker in the Oregon Senate adjourned the chamber without a quorum until Monday, Sept. 22, citing Article IV, Section 12 of the Oregon Constitution and Senate Rule 3.01(1). The adjournment was made by unanimous consent; no formal vote was recorded.
An unidentified speaker in the Oregon Senate declared the chamber adjourned without a quorum until Monday, Sept. 22, citing constitutional and rule authority. "Without objection, the senate is adjourned without a quorum until Monday, September 22," the speaker said.
The procedural move was framed by an invocation of Article IV, Section 12 of the Oregon Constitution and Senate Rule 3.01(1), according to the transcript. The statement was made by the person labeled S1 in the transcript and no individual name appears in the record.
Because the adjournment was announced "without objection," there was no formal roll-call vote recorded in the transcript. The action means the Senate will not conduct business requiring a quorum until it reconvenes on the date specified. The transcript provides no additional detail on the reason for the adjournment or whether any interim meetings or special sessions are planned.
The next procedural step in the record is the scheduled reconvening on Monday, Sept. 22.
