Summary#
HJR-7022 is a joint resolution, not a bill that changes a general law. It would end the Second Extraordinary Session of Tennessee’s 114th General Assembly at the close of business in both houses on Thursday, May 7, 2026; its stated goal is to provide for that adjournment.
- It sets an end point for this particular legislative session, with no later return date specified in the resolution.
- The supplied status says it passed the Legislature and was delivered to the Governor; it does not state whether the Governor took further action.
What it means for you#
- The public: This is a procedural change to the session, not a direct change to people’s rights, benefits, taxes, or services.
- Legislators: The resolution sets when this extraordinary session ends. It does not say what happens to any unfinished matters.
Money#

Case for#

Case against#

- If more legislative work were needed, this resolution does not provide a later date for continuing this session.
