The refresh date for the data on this page is shown directly beneath the calendar. Session dates change when a chamber extends past its target adjournment, adjourns early, or a governor calls a special session, and we update the underlying record as those changes are confirmed.

All 50 state legislatures, the District of Columbia Council, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Congress.

Several state legislatures meet only in odd-numbered years. In an even-numbered year they hold no regular session, though the governor can still call a special session, which appears separately on the map and in the table.

Montana, Nevada, North Dakota and Texas hold regular sessions only in odd-numbered years, so in an even-numbered year they show no regular session. Any of them can still be called into special session.

A special session is a sitting convened outside the regular calendar, usually called by the governor, and in many states limited to the subjects named in the call. Special sessions are listed separately, so a state can show as adjourned for its regular session while still meeting in a special one.

The District of Columbia Council, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Congress work in multi-year terms rather than annual sessions that convene and adjourn, so they show as a continuous session rather than a date range.

The calendar shows each legislature's most recent regular session for the current year, including the date it adjourned. A state marked adjourned has finished its regular session and is not scheduled to reconvene until its next one.

A chamber can extend past its target adjournment date or finish early, and either one changes when the session ends. Dates are corrected as actual adjournments are confirmed.

Most 2027 sessions convene in January. California and Maine convene theirs in December 2026. The 2027 dates shown are scheduled rather than observed, so they can still move.

Prefiling is the window before a session opens when legislators can introduce bills for the coming session. Prefiling windows are not shown on this calendar yet.

Every state is directly linkable. Add the state name to the page address, for example /legislative-calendar#texas, and the calendar opens with that state selected.
