Schedule agreed upon for General Assembly's 2006 session
FRANKFORT -- The schedule for the General Assembly's 2006 legislative session, which convenes Jan. 3, was approved Wednesday by the Legislative Research Commission.
The session will last 60 working days - the maximum allowed by the state constitution - and is scheduled to end on April 11. The session calendar approved today shows that the General Assembly won't meet on Jan. 16 in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or on Feb. 20 in honor of Presidents' Day.
The veto period -- the time during which lawmakers return to their home districts while waiting to see which bills, if any, the governor chooses to veto -- will last from March 28 through April 7. Once the veto period ends, lawmakers will return to Frankfort the following Monday for the final two days of the session.
