Legislative Schedule Update

The Georgia General Assembly meets for no more than 40 legislative days each spring. The session commences on the second Monday after the first Tuesday in January. The legislature does not necessarily meet on consecutive days and the session often extends through March and well into April. The House and Senate set their schedule by Resolution, so, we at Lawmakers are often unaware of what the schedule will be until the Resolution is brought to the floor in one of the chambers for a vote.

When a Resolution is passed, it generally sets the schedule for up to two weeks at a time. On Wednesday, February 20, the Senate adopted SR 981, which sets the following schedule:

Wednesday, February 20. . . . . .in session for legislative day 20
Thursday, February 21. . . . . . . .in session for legislative day 21
Friday, February 22. . . . . . . . . . in session for legislative day 22
Saturday, February 23. . . . . . . .in adjournment
Sunday, February 24. . . . . . . . . in adjournment
