The House Concurrent Resolution Number 39 authorizes a joint convention of the Ohio General Assembly to take place on March 10, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. in the House Chambers of the Ohio Statehouse. This convention is convened for the purpose of receiving the State of the State Address from Governor Mike DeWine. The resolution acknowledges the tradition of the legislature to appoint a committee to wait upon the Governor, and it calls for a committee consisting of nine members from the House of Representatives and eight from the Senate to fulfill this role.
Additionally, the resolution reaffirms the decision to change the date of the joint convention, as previously authorized by H.C.R. No. 36 of the 136th General Assembly. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to the rules and customs of the House during the event and mandates that authenticated copies of the resolution be sent to Governor DeWine and the media in Ohio.
