Arkansas House issues joint proclamation to reconvene May 5, then adjourns sine die
The Arkansas House of Representatives issued a joint proclamation on April 25 directing the regular session of the 90th General Assembly to reconvene at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 5, 2025, and then adjourned the session sine die.

The proclamation, read in the chamber and signed by Speaker Brian Evans and Senate President Pro Tempore Bart Hester pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 1,006, said the reconvening would be "to consider vetoes, correct errors and oversights, complete work on proposed constitutional amendments, [and] consider the need for further extension of the regular session." The House record shows 91 members present when the clerk called the roll and the body established a quorum prior to the proclamation and adjournment.

Speaker Brian Evans reflected on the session before adjournment. "Members, your constituents should be proud of the work that you have done on their behalf this session," Evans said, citing late-night debate and collaboration. He highlighted areas the House addressed this session, including maternal health, free school breakfast, higher education reform, protections for children on social media and a new committee on veterans and military affairs.

The clerk read the joint proclamation in the chamber, which invoked House Concurrent Resolution 1,006 as authority for the reconvening date. The proclamation includes the requirement that the session may be reconvened by joint proclamation before noon on May 5, 2025, if further action is necessary.

With the proclamation entered on the record, the presiding officer announced that "the House of Representatives is hereby adjourned, sine die," formally ending the regular session until any reconvening under the proclamation.

No further votes or motions were recorded on the floor after the proclamation; the adjournment and the proclamation were procedural actions recorded in the day's proceedings.
