Every year, decisions are made and bills are passed by state-level politicians that affect you. These decisions largely happen during the General Assembly legislative session, a period usually starting in January and ending 30-60 days later depending on the year. During this time, many bills come up for votes and either fail, are tabled for later discussion or are passed into law.
The 2023 legislative session begins on Wednesday, January 11th and it’ll be extra important for advocates like you to know what to expect so that you can fully engage in the decision-making processes that affect you and your loved ones.
