Senate adopts resolution to convene a joint session for the governor’s message
Summary
The Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 14 66 to convene a House–Senate joint session at 11:00 a.m. on Jan. 13, 2026, to receive a message from Governor Ron DeSantis; the rules chair moved and members approved procedural steps to certify and notify the House and governor.
The Florida Senate approved Senate Concurrent Resolution 14 66 on Jan. 13, scheduling a joint session of the House and Senate at 11:00 a.m. that day for the purpose of receiving a message from Governor Ron DeSantis.
Rules chair Passadoma moved to take up SCR 14 66 "in stanter" and to have it read first by title and then in full. The secretary read the text of the resolution, which states that the joint session would be held in the House chamber at 11:00 a.m. on 01/13/2026. The presiding officer then put the question; members signified their approval vocally and the concurrent resolution was adopted.
Passadoma subsequently moved that the rules be waived so that SCR 14 66 could be immediately certified to the House; that motion was adopted without objection. A second motion instructed the secretary to notify the House of Representatives and the governor that the Senate was convened and ready to proceed with the business of the 2026 regular session; that motion also was adopted without objection.
The transcript records the procedural actions and their outcomes (adopted; certified; notification directed) but does not include a roll-call vote tally in the record.
Next steps: Senators were asked to gather at 10:50 a.m. near the sergeant’s desk to proceed together to the House chamber for the joint session.
