Oregon Senate adjourns without quorum until 10 a.m. Sept. 26, transcript shows

An unidentified speaker announced that, pursuant to Article IV, Section 12 of the Oregon Constitution and Senate Rule 3.01 sub 1, the Oregon Senate was adjourned without a quorum until 10 a.m. on Sept. 26, the brief transcript shows.

The speaker said the adjournment was made “without objection,” indicating no member voiced opposition on the record. The transcript records the sequence in five short segments and includes the wording "Bridal, September 26," which appears to be a transcription rendering of the date or day; the record does not clarify the intended word for "Bridal." The announcement invoked constitutional and chamber rules as authority for adjourning when a quorum is not present.

Because the transcript is limited to the adjournment announcement, it contains no roll-call vote, motions with mover/second, or further debate tied to this action. The entry suspends business until the stated time and date in the transcript; the record does not specify an agenda to be taken up when the Senate reconvenes.

Transcript authorities cited in the announcement were Article IV, Section 12 of the Oregon Constitution and Senate Rule 3.01 sub 1, both of which the speaker invoked on the record. The transcript provides no additional context about why a quorum was not present or what business, if any, was pending when the chamber adjourned.

The adjournment was recorded in five sequential segments in the transcript; there are no listed speakers beyond the single unidentified speaker who made the announcement. The next procedural step in the transcript is the scheduled reconvening at the stated time and date; the record does not include post-adjournment actions.
