WHEREAS, pursuant to Article V, Section 30 of the Oklahoma Constitution, there is a requirement for consent of the two chambers of the Legislature to be adjourned for a period of time in excess of three (3) days; and

WHEREAS, it is foreseeable that either the Senate or the House of Representatives or both chambers of the Legislature may need to adjourn for a period of time of more than three (3) days between the current point of the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 59th Oklahoma Legislature and the sine die adjournment of such session; and

WHEREAS, in the interest of time and to avoid potential difficulty in obtaining the required assent pursuant to Article V, Section 30 of the Oklahoma Constitution, it is reasonable for the Legislature to provide a continuing permission for either chamber or both chambers to be adjourned for a period of time in excess of three (3) days.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE 2ND EXTRAORDINARY SESSION OF THE 59TH OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN:

THAT the Senate grants its consent to the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives grants its consent to the Senate, to be adjourned for more than three (3) days from the date of adoption of this measure by the chambers or the date as of which the measure is acted upon by the second chamber to consider it, whichever date last occurs.

THAT the ongoing mutual consent to adjournment for a period of time in excess of three (3) days as provided by this measure shall continue until this measure is either superseded by other action taken by the Legislature or until the sine die adjournment of the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 59th Oklahoma Legislature, whichever event first occurs.
