SR 2: Senate Convened; notify the House of Representatives

This resolution is a routine procedural step used when the Georgia General Assembly opens a special legislative session. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to send official notice to the House of Representatives that the Senate has convened and is ready to begin transacting legislative business. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or affect anyone outside the legislature. It simply documents an internal step in the process of starting the special session so that both chambers can proceed with their work.

• Instructs the Secretary of the Senate to notify the House of Representatives that the Senate has convened.
• States that the Senate is ready for the transaction of business in the special session.

This resolution affects only the internal operations of the Georgia General Assembly, specifically the Secretary of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which receives the formal notice.

This is a housekeeping measure that keeps the two chambers coordinated at the start of a special session. It does not change law or affect the public, but it is a necessary formal step before the Senate and House can begin conducting legislative business together.

• The resolution's single operative clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to notify the House of Representatives that the Senate has convened and is ready for business.
