adjourn by royal prerogative; without dissolving the legislative body
To officially conclude a session of the Legislative Assembly. Prorogation is different from dissolution in that the Legislature itself is not dissolved. Prorogation normally occurs immediately before a new session of the Legislature begins.

Any bills that have not received Royal Assent by the time Parliament is prorogued will have to be reintroduced in the next session. All committee work ceases with prorogation as well.
The termination of the session of Parliament by the Governor, but it is not a dissolution for an election. It brings an end to the business of that session and stops some committee activity; any unfinished business may be reinstated to the Notice Paper when Parliament resumes.
to extend or to prolong; specifically, to continue a Parliament from one session to the next
