Plain Language Summary

This resolution adjourns the North Carolina General Assembly on July 2, 2026, and reconvenes it on July 27, 2026. It specifies which types of bills and matters can be considered during the reconvened session, including budget-related bills, constitutional amendments, bills that already passed one chamber, and various other specific categories.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters argue this resolution provides structure and efficiency by limiting what can be debated during the reconvened period, allowing legislators to focus on essential matters like budget finalization, constitutional amendments, and bills already in progress.
• •This prevents new legislative initiatives from being introduced late in the session and helps the General Assembly complete its work in a timely manner.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents may argue that restricting what bills can be considered limits the legislature's flexibility to address urgent issues that arise during the recess period.
• •The strict deadlines for bill submission (April 13-30) could prevent timely responses to unforeseen circumstances, and the narrow scope of allowable matters might prevent important legislation from being heard if it doesn't fit the specified categories.
