sine die

The House adjourned sine die, meaning they consider the special session to be over.

“On sine die, that was a death sentence,” she said, referring to the final day of the 90-day session.

“The General Assembly has until they adjourn sine die to reconsider their decision to reject the most qualified Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources in many years,” spokeswoman Macaulay Porter wrote in an email.

Because of a required cooling off period, a completed draft of the budget must be finalized by Tuesday so it can be approved before so-called sine die at the end of the week.

Before the Senate adjourned, chamber President quipped: “We’re going to social distance sine die.”
