The Tennessee Senate used the special-session floor to advance a large number of bills on procedural questions, introduce multiple resolutions, approve a recess, and pass a resolution calling for a joint convention and transmittal of budget documents.

Leader Johnson moved and the Senate passed, without objection, Senate bills 197 through 295 on first consideration. Later, Leader Johnson moved and the Senate passed, without objection, Senate bills 148 through 182 and 184 through 196 on second consideration; those second-consideration bills were referred to the standing committees designated or held on the clerk's desk.

On resolutions, Leader Johnson moved to introduce and pass on first consideration Senate joint resolutions 28 through 37; the chamber approved them without objection and held them on the clerk's desk. The Senate also laid over Senate joint resolutions 17 through 27 and House joint resolutions 33, 36, and 38 through 47 and referred them to the appropriate standing committees or held them on the clerk's desk.

The Senate adopted House Joint Resolution 62, providing for a recess in the proceedings of the 114th General Assembly: "the senate at the conclusion of the special session will be, recessed until Monday, February 10, 2025 at 4 PM." The motion to suspend rules for immediate introduction and consideration of HJR 62 was agreed to without objection and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

Leader Johnson also moved adoption of House Joint Resolution 63, which calls for a joint convention of the Senate and House of Representatives for the purpose of hearing the governor's State of the State address and authorizing transmittal of budget documents and implementing legislation for the budget. The rules were suspended for immediate consideration of HJR 63 and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

The consent calendar of memorializing and congratulatory resolutions was presented and passed. The transcript records the consent calendar receiving a constitutional majority and passing; the clerk recorded the vote as 32 with no nays. Several items were adjusted on the calendar at sponsors' requests, including moving item number 37 to the regular calendar and referring SJR 22 to the calendar committee. Senate joint resolution 32 was "bumped" from the calendar at a sponsor's request for later reintroduction during the special session.

Several floor requests and sponsor additions were recorded (for example, adding co-sponsors to memorial resolutions and introducing special guests), but the bulk of the session's work was procedural passage, referral, and calendar management rather than debate on the merits of specific bills.
