A concurrent resolution to provide for adjournment sine die.
Summary
SCR 102 is a concurrent resolution that sets the final adjournment date for the 2026 Regular Session of the Ninety-first General Assembly. It provides that when the legislature adjourns on Sunday, May 3, 2026, that adjournment will be adjournment sine die, meaning the session ends permanently for the year.
The resolution is procedural rather than substantive: it does not create, amend, or repeal any statutory law, and it does not change policy affecting the public directly. Instead, it establishes the legislative calendar and marks the end of the regular session, which determines when pending bills must be acted on and when the legislature’s regular business concludes.
Impact
SCR 102 affects legislative procedure and session management only. It has no direct impact on the Iowa Code or on regulated parties, but it does control the timing of the General Assembly’s final adjournment, which in turn affects the fate of bills and resolutions still pending at the end of the 2026 regular session.
Sentiment
The available record suggests little to no controversy around SCR 102. As a routine rules-and-administration measure, it appears to be a standard housekeeping resolution used to set the end date of the session. No committee debate or recorded votes are provided, and the bill’s procedural nature suggests general agreement rather than partisan division.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the provided materials. Because the resolution only fixes the date of sine die adjournment, any disagreement would likely be limited to legislative scheduling or the practical consequences for unfinished business, but no such concerns are reflected in the transcript or voting history provided.
