A joint session of the 2025 Legislature MA recessed after Representative Donato moved that the assembly "stand in recess until Wednesday, April 8 at 12:00 noon." The motion was adopted on a voice vote.

The session began with the pledge of allegiance. Representative Donato moved the recess, and the presiding officer called for the voice vote, saying, "All those in favor say aye. Opposed, no." The presiding officer later declared, "Clearly, the ayes have it." Sergeant Adams then escorted the Senate from the host chamber, as recorded in the transcript.

The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or recorded names for individual yes or no votes. The next scheduled convening of the joint session is Wednesday, April 8 at 12:00 noon, per the recess motion.
