The Arkansas House passed House Concurrent Resolution 1,001 to set a joint session of the House and Senate for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, to receive certified election and ballot-issue results and to hear an address from Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Representative Diane Vaught presented the resolution on the floor, explaining its purpose to convene the House and Senate to declare election results, declare ballot-issue results and to hear the governor's address. Representative Boddie closed in favor of the resolution. The House voted to adopt the resolution; the chair announced the resolution was adopted.
The resolution schedules the joint session and does not, in itself, change law or appropriations. It organizes a formal occasion for both chambers to hear the governor and to formalize certain election results for the General Assembly record.
