Regular Session Begins February
5, 2008
The Alabama Legislature meets in annual Regular
Sessions, each of which can consist of no more than 30 Legislative
(meeting) days, within a 105 Calendar day period. By statute, the
dates for convening of annual sessions, for each year of a Quadrennium
(4-year period), are as follows:
- 1st Year: First Tuesday in March
- 2nd Year: First Tuesday in
February
- 3rd Year: First Tuesday in February
- 4th Year: 2nd Tuesday in
January
Special Sessions may be called at any time, by
the Governor, for emergency or extraordinary reasons. Special Sessions
can consist of no more than 12 Legislative (meeting) days, within
a 30 Calendar day period. In his/her Proclaimation, calling the
Legislature into such session, the Governor will state the date
and time for convening of such session.
Once in session, whether Regular or Special, the
Legislature regulates its own schedule of meeting days and times
for convening. Normally, the schedule of a Regular Session consists
of Legislative (meeting) days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Committee
meetings held on Wednesdays. However, please note, that this schedule
can change from week to week, and that Committees may meet on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, while their respective body is not in actual session.
Therefore: Before planning a trip or meeting with
your respective Legislator either at his office in Montgomery or
in his respective district, it is best to make an appointment and
to be aware of the planning meeting days and times of convening.
You may do so by calling the Senate, at (334) 242-7800, and the
House of Representatives, at (334) 242-7600. After hours, you may
call these numbers to receive a recorded message, stating the day
and time each body will next meet. In addition, please consult
your legislators’ home pages, at www.legislature.state.al.us/house/house.html for
the House of Representatives, or www.legislature.state.al.us/senate/senate.html for
the Senate. If you are unsure of who your legislators are, you
may also use the Zip Code Lookup contained on these pages as well.
