Senate adjourns for lack of quorum, to reconvene April 9
Summary
The Senate adjourned due to absence of a quorum and announced it will stand adjourned until Wednesday, April 9 at 10:00 a.m.; no further business occurred during the session.
The Michigan Senate adjourned at the opening of the session after the presiding officer announced an absence of a quorum.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said on the floor: "In absence of a quorum pursuant to senate rule 3.104 and joint rule 15, the senate will adjourn and stand adjourn until Wednesday, April 9 at 10AM." He closed the session by stating, "The senate is now adjourned."
Why it matters: An adjournment for lack of quorum halts floor business until the Senate is able to convene with enough members present; the date announced is the next scheduled reconvening.
What happened: With the adjournment announced, no committee votes, confirmations, or debates occurred beyond readings and referrals entered into the record.
Next steps: The Senate is scheduled to reconvene on the date announced on the floor; committee-level work may continue in the interim.
