The joint convention of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives convened on April 9, 2026, under Article 6, Section 3 of the Tennessee Constitution and chapter 5-28 of the Public Acts of 2016 to consider two confirmations.
The presiding officer opened the session and recognized chamber leaders; Leader Johnson moved to dispense with the roll call of the Senate and Leader Lambert moved to dispense with the roll call of the House. Both motions were accepted "without objection." The clerk then read Joint Resolution 1050, noting the convention’s purpose and the scheduled time and legal authorities cited for the meeting.
The convention proceeded to consider the confirmation of Judge Stacy Street and the election of Venecia Kimbrough to the State Election Commission. After both items were completed, the presiding officer stated the convention’s purpose had been accomplished and the joint convention stood adjourned.
