A legislative session is a period during which a legislative body, such as a state legislature or the U.S. Congress, meets to discuss and pass laws. These sessions can vary in length and frequency, often occurring annually or biennially, depending on the rules of the specific legislative body. During this time, lawmakers propose, debate, and vote on various bills and resolutions. Each session typically begins with an opening day, where members are sworn in and leadership positions are established. The agenda may include reviewing existing laws, addressing budgetary issues, and responding to public concerns. At the end of a session, any unresolved bills may be carried over to the next session or discarded.
