State Legislative Update - Revised Calendars for the Assembly and State Senate

After a month-and-a-half long hiatus, the Assembly resumed its Legislative Session on Monday. The Senate plans to resume its Legislative Session on May 11th. The Recess, which began in mid-March, was imposed in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Over the next several weeks, policy committees in both houses are scheduled to hold hearings to hear and act on hundreds of bills. Work is also underway on the revised state budget that accounts for changes in revenues since January, which is due by May 14th. As the Legislature continues to assess the extraordinary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legislature and the Newsom Administration will face difficult budgetary decisions.

In addition, the Assembly and Senate issued calendars for the remainder of the 2020 Legislative session. The Assembly calendar can be accessed here. The Senate calendar can be accessed here.
