Wisconsin lawmakers convened the special session called by Gov. Tony Evers on August 31.
The session met for less than a minute and adjourned until September 3, in what is termed a skeletal session.
No Senate Republicans were present for the session.
Wisconsin law does not require lawmakers to take any action during a special session.
The session is adjourned for three days to comply with the constitutional requirement that neither house may adjourn without the consent of the other for more than 3 days.
They may continue in this manner until both houses agree on a course of action or to adjourn sine die.
