KIM: How do we find out our state’s legislative start and end dates? You can check www.multistate.us -- click ‘resources’ and there will be a list of all states’ legislative dates. Some states’ dates are biennial while some are annual. Some start in January, February or April -- it varies. End dates can range from one month, six months or a year. Again, it always varies but it’s important that you know your dates. This information will include the start of the legislative date, when you can file a bill prior to the start date, when they foresee a ‘sine die’ (when legislators close their sessions), and whether the house/senate have a date to pass the bills onto the other.
