The biennial session officially begins on January 6, 2025, and concludes at noon on January 4, 2027, with multiple scheduled floorperiods throughout this timeframe. The resolution extends the budget bill introduction deadline to February 20, 2025, and prescribes numerous specific floorperiods for legislative work, including designated times for bill submission to the governor, committee activities, and special sessions. Key provisions include multiple legislative work periods ranging from two to ten days each, scheduled from January 2025 through May 2026, with specific deadlines for submitting bills to the governor and a final general-business floorperiod in March 2026.
