TO AUTHORIZE RECESSES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OR THE SENATE, OR BOTH, FOR PERIODS OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE DAYS OR LONGER.
This Arkansas House Resolution authorizes the House of Representatives and the Senate to take recesses lasting four consecutive days or longer during the 2026 fiscal session. The measure allows the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate to declare these breaks without needing separate approval for each instance. By establishing this rule, the resolution provides a clear mechanism for legislative bodies to pause their sessions for extended periods when necessary.
