Calendars

The Legislative Process: 76-1

CALENDARS

The Secretary of the Senate and the Chief Clerk of the House keep calendars which list all bills that are officially eligible for debate. Called the regular calendar, bills are arranged on it in the order they are received from committees. The bill numbers and titles are placed on the Senate or House calendar, as applicable.

Several types of calendars document scheduled debate for the General Assembly. The House Weekly Debate Calendar lists the bills which are scheduled for consideration by the House of Representative during a given week. The Senate and House issue Daily Debate Calendars, which list the bills which are scheduled for consideration by the chambers on a given day. Both of these calendars are issued by the Majority Leaders' Offices and are subject to change.

In addition to these calendars, the Legislative Information Office (LIO) produces "Today in the House" and "Today in the Senate" every day. These calendars list the day's committee meetings, hearings and the chambers' convening times.
