LEGISLATIVE REVIEW COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
Date: April 6, 2026
Subject
State Legislative Calendar and 2026 Legislative Review Committee Meeting schedule Recommended Action
1. Review State Legislative Calendar (Attachment A); and
2. Approve and establish the 2026 Legislative Review Committee Meeting schedule.
Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
Each year, the state legislature publishes their annual calendar outlining key deadlines for the legislative session. The 2026 legislative calendar is included as Attachment A. The City’s lobbyist has consulted with staff and recommends holding approximately four meetings per year aligned with critical points in the legislative timeline:
1. Monday, April 6 – Following the bill introduction deadline but also before the House of Origin deadline on May 29.
2. Monday, June 22 – Mid-session, following adoption of the state budget
3. Monday, August 17 – Approximately two weeks prior to the end of the session
4. Monday, October 19 – After the Governors sign and veto deadline These dates are strategically selected to align with key legislative milestones and provide consistency, as each meeting is scheduled on a Monday every other month through the conclusion of the legislative session. If the need arises, a special meeting may be called in addition to the schedule recommended above.
