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.

On Wednesday, March 5, the Senate adopted HR 1556, which sets the following schedule:

Wednesday, March 5 in session for Legislative Day 28
Thursday, March 6 in session for Legislative Day 29
Friday, March 7 in adjournment

Monday, March 10 in adjournment
Tuesday, March 11 in session for Legislative Day 30
Wednesday, March 12 in session for Legislative Day 31
Thursday, March 13 in session for Legislative Day 32
Friday, March 14 in adjournment

Monday, March 17 in adjournment
Tuesday, March 18 in session for Legislative Day 33
Wednesday, March 19 in session for Legislative Day 34
Thursday, March 20 in session for Legislative Day 35
Friday, March 21 in adjournment

Monday, March 24 in adjournment
Tuesday, March 25 in session for Legislative Day 36
Wednesday, March 26 in session for Legislative Day 37
Thursday, March 27 in session for Legislative Day 38
