At the beginning of the session, I asked members to keep their evenings open on session days beginning March 13 through the end of the session for evening debate. Below you will find the specific dates that we will be working into the evening.

Please reserve the following dates for the Legislature to work during the early evening hours:

Monday, March 18;
Tuesday, March 19;
Wednesday, March 20;
Monday, March 25;
Tuesday, March 26;
Wednesday, March 27;
Tuesday, April 2;
Wednesday, April 3;
Thursday, April 4; and
Tuesday, April 9.

The adjournment time for a scheduled “late night” will be around 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. or later (potentially as late as 11:59 p.m.). The specific adjournment time each evening will be dependent upon the Body’s progress on that day’s agenda. We will have a half-hour recess for dinner around 6:00 p.m. each scheduled late night.

These dates are “reserved late nights” some of which I may cancel. I will provide members with as much notice as possible of such a cancellation. However, a cancelled “late night” may still mean working through the dinner hour and then adjourning sometime early evening.

I have decided to continue with a 10:00 a.m. start time for the first day of our work week. On the last day of our work week (March 15, 21, 28, and April 5) we will work through the lunch hour and adjourn between 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. dependent upon our progress that day.
