General Overview:
The 2022 General Assembly session adjourned sine
die on March 12, 2022. This year's session was a
so-called "long session," and lasted 60 days instead of
the 45 day "short session," which occurs in odd-numbered
years. Over the course of this year's session, the General
Assembly considered approximately 2,000 bills and 1,000
resolutions. Of these, a little over 800 bills made it out of both
the Senate and the House and on to the governor's desk for
action.
While the General Assembly may have adjourned on March 12, it
did so without completing all of its work. The House and Senate
were unable to come to an agreement on the budget, and an
additional 45 bills were left in conference. Accordingly, the House
and Senate adjourned with the understanding that they would
reconvene later in the spring to finish their conference work and
budget work.
