Summary#

SJR 26-026, titled Concerning Adjournment Sine Die, is a joint resolution; it does not amend an Act or create a new law. It provides that when Colorado’s Second Regular Session of the 75th General Assembly adjourns on May 13, 2026, it will adjourn sine die—without setting a date to resume that session. Its goal is to formally close the session on that basis.

• The resolution applies to the Second Regular Session of the 75th General Assembly.
• It sets the effect of adjournment if the session adjourns on May 13, 2026: that session ends without a scheduled date to resume.
• It does not create an office, program, benefit, tax, fee, fine, or enforcement power.
• The supplied status says the Senate passed it. The text requires House concurrence, but the supplied material does not say whether the House acted.

What it means for you#

• Residents: The resolution does not directly change your rights, services, taxes, or fees. It concerns the Legislature’s session.
• Legislators: If the session adjourns on May 13 as described, it will end without a scheduled date to resume as that session.
• General public: The resolution does not say what would happen if the session does not adjourn on May 13.

Money#

No cost information is in the available material.

• The resolution does not specify an appropriation, fee, tax change, or other payment.
• It also provides no estimate of any administrative costs.

What is unclear#

• The supplied material does not show whether the House concurred, which the resolution’s text requires.
• The resolution does not state what happens if the session adjourns on a date other than May 13.
• It does not give an exact time for adjournment.

Case for#

• The resolution sets a clear effect for the session’s adjournment on May 13: the session will end without a scheduled date to resume.
• A possible argument for the resolution is that it formally records how the session will close, rather than leaving that point unstated.

Case against#

• The resolution ties its effect to adjournment on May 13 but does not explain what applies if the date changes.
• It does not itself require the session to adjourn on May 13; it says what the adjournment means if it happens then.
