The first few days of the 2024 session will be marked by opening addresses, reintroductions and the setting of legislative priorities. A few committees will dive right in and pick up where they left with hearings on legislation already in the works from last session. The week is likely to be dominated by hearings on the state’s response to this past summers’ flooding. Administration officials will testify in a joint meeting of the House Transportation and Energy and Environment committees, and the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs will hear stories from flood affected communities. Several bills related to flood recovery and resiliency are expected to be introduced. 

 

Note: Legislative Committee Agendas are updated frequently throughout each day. The latest committee schedule can be found on this link. A list of weekly hearings for all committees can be found here.
