§ 7.24. Adjournments and recesses.
(a) Exceeding three days.—Neither house may, without the consent of the other house, adjourn for more than 3 days. Such an adjournment is accomplished by the adoption of a concurrent resolution. Where the time for reconvening is subsequent to the beginning of the following week, the adjournment is generally referred to as a recess and sometimes made subject to reconvening at an earlier date at the call of the presiding officer of each house.
(b) Sine die.—When the General Assembly finally adjourns any regular or special session, such adjournment is referred to as an adjournment sine die and is accomplished by a concurrent resolution.
(c) Disagreement in special sessions.—In case of disagreement between the two houses with respect to the time of adjournment of a special session, the Governor may adjourn them to such time, not exceeding four months, as he thinks proper.
