A concurrent resolution providing for a joint convention of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 2 is a procedural resolution that schedules a joint convention of the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives. It directs both chambers to meet together in the Hall of the House of Representatives on February 26, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of receiving a message from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any substantive law. Its effect is limited to setting the time and place for a joint legislative session, which is a formal ceremonial or administrative action used for communications from the governor or other joint business of the Legislature.
Impact
SCR0002 has no direct impact on state statutes, regulatory authority, or private parties. It is an internal legislative scheduling measure that authorizes a joint convention of both chambers, ensuring the Senate and House can convene together to receive the governor’s message. The practical effect is limited to legislative procedure and chamber coordination.
Sentiment
The available record suggests no controversy or opposition. Because the resolution is purely procedural and ceremonial, it appears to have been treated as routine legislative business rather than a policy proposal. No committee testimony or recorded votes were provided, so there is no evidence of divided sentiment in the available materials.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the bill text or the provided legislative history. The resolution simply sets a date, time, and location for a joint convention, and no stakeholders, policy disagreements, or amendments are identified. Any discussion would likely have centered only on scheduling and chamber logistics rather than substantive disagreement.
