Senate Meets Pro Forma, Adjourns Until August 17, 2026

The Senate convened for a pro forma session on August 13, 2026. Senator Jim Banks of Indiana was appointed and presided as Acting President pro tempore. The session was brief, lasting less than a minute, and no substantive legislative business was transacted. The Senate then adjourned until Monday, August 17, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.

Pro forma sessions are brief meetings held to satisfy constitutional requirements for the chamber to remain technically in session, often during recesses, without conducting any legislative business.
