The resolution SCR 101, introduced during the First Special Session of the Thirty-Fourth Alaska State Legislature, authorizes both the Senate and the House of Representatives to recess for a period exceeding three days. This action is in accordance with Article II, Section 10 of the Alaska State Constitution, which stipulates that neither house may adjourn or recess for longer than three days without the concurrence of the other house.
To facilitate this extended recess, the resolution notes that a majority vote from the full membership of each house, as outlined in Rule 52 of the Uniform Rules of the Alaska State Legislature, constitutes the necessary concurrence. Thus, SCR 101 effectively allows for a longer recess period, enabling the legislature to manage its schedule more flexibly during the special session.
