Lawmakers Returns Tuesday, March 18

Lawmakers will not be seen tonight because the legislature is not in session. Join us at 7 PM on Tuesday, March 18 when the Georgia General Assembly convenes for the 32nd legislative day. In case you're wondering how to find out when a new episode of Lawmakers will be produced, we wanted to explain our schedule. Lawmakers is broadcast every night at 7 PM on Georgia Public Broadcasting when the Georgia General Assembly is in session. 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.

On Tuesday, March 11, Senate Resolution 1145 was adopted in both chambers, setting the following legislative schedule:

Tuesday, March 11 . . . . . . . in session for legislative day 30
Wednesday, March 12 . . . . in session for legislative day 31
Thursday, March 13 through Monday, March 17. . . in adjournment
Tuesday, March 18. . . . . . . .in session for legislative day 32
Wednesday, March 19. . . . . in session for legislative day 33
Thursday, March 20. . . . . . .in session for legislative day 34
Friday, March 21 through Wednesday, March 26. . . in adjournment
Thursday, March 27. . . . . . . in session for legislative day 35

Lawmakers is broadcast on GPB television and streamed at www.gpb.org at 7PM every day that the Georgia General Assembly is in session.
