The Minnesota House of Representatives adjourned its Jan. 27, 2025, session after the Clerk Pro Tem announced a lack of quorum and recessed the chamber until 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025.

Pastor Ryan Braley of Central Lutheran Church in Elk River, Minnesota, delivered the day's invocation and prayed that lawmakers "May you live in surprise and awe and mystery today," invoking the biblical story of Moses and the burning bush. The presiding member also noted that Jan. 27 is Holocaust Remembrance Day and asked the chamber to observe a moment of silence in honor of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

The ceremonial remarks and the moment of silence occurred at the start of the session and did not involve any legislative debate or formal votes. After the pledge of allegiance and the roll call procedure, the Clerk Pro Tem announced that a quorum was not present and closed the roll. The session was recessed and rescheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025.

No bills, motions, committee reports or recorded votes were taken during the brief opening. The chamber's next scheduled meeting time was announced before adjournment.
