Summary

This bill proposes to modify the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 , specifically altering the schedule for the Congressional summer adjournment. Its primary aim is to shift the start of the summer recess to an earlier date in the year. Under the proposed changes, Congress would begin its summer adjournment on June 30 instead of the current July 31. Consequently, the period of recess would commence in July, and members would be required to reconvene on the first Monday in August , rather than after the Labor Day holiday. These adjustments are slated to take effect upon the convening of the second session of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
