HOUSE CALENDAR

MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE:

 

I hope that members and staff were able to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday with family and friends, and that you are all able to find some rest and relaxation time during the summer months.

 

There will be no legislative activity in July with the exception of statutory committees that have meeting requirements set by law.  Retained bill subcommittees, ad-hoc groups and caucuses, and chapter study committees chaired by House members that were not scheduled prior to this policy being announced will not meet during July.

 

Legislative work will resume in August on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays only.

 

I ask members to continue to be mindful of the need to hold the line on the in-state travel budget by limiting travel to the State House to essential business.

 

Terie Norelli, Speaker
