The recess of the session may also be extended by concurrent resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. During the time between 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June and the extended sine die adjournment recess date, as set forth herein, no legislation or other business may be considered except the General Appropriation Appropriations Bill and any matters approved for consideration by a concurrent resolution adopted by two-thirds vote in both houses. The General Assembly shall adjourn sine die at 5:00 p.m. on December 31 of each year."
