Tracking legislative sessions across the U.S. can be complex and time-consuming.
While some state legislatures meet year-round, others convene for just a few months. Many operate on a biennial schedule, allowing bills to carry over from one year to the next. This patchwork of schedules makes it challenging to stay informed.
That’s why thousands of government affairs and compliance professionals turn to the LexisNexis® State Net® Legislative Sessions Calendar each year.
