There has been buzz that budget talks are going well and adjournment is near. I remember the first time I heard the words Sine Die- I literally heard it as Sign and Die..I thought what a weird concept. However, Sine Die- the latin word for "without a day," is what the last day of session is referred to. According to wikipedia when it comes to a legislative body- the term sine die means that their mandates have come to an end and they may not meet again. A legislative body ends in this manner so that if they need to be called back they can do so in special session.
My last sine die went until from 8am to 5 am the next day- it was intense, it was fun, it was an experience I will never forget which also makes me wonder what will this sine die be like working upstairs as opposed to in the page office. I will keep you all posted hopefully we will have a better idea of the end in the next couple of days and interim will begin.
Very interesting! Prior to reading this post I have never heard of "Sine Die". This post is very informative! Thank you for the enlightenment!
