The 194th General Court of the State Legislature began on January 1, 2025 and ends on December 31, 2026. During this two year span, we have new opportunities to advocate for and advance the issues and investments most critical to supporting our schools, students, and the working families of the Commonwealth.
We are in the very beginning stages of the Legislative session. At this point, legislation has been provided docket numbers - which serve as holding numbers for the clerks to keep track of the thousands of pieces of legislation that are filed. The next step is for each one to get a bill number (the number that will be used to track the legislation going forward) and assigned to a Joint Committee for initial consideration. Before it can advance to the floor for a vote, each bill must receive a public hearing, hosted by the Committee it’s housed in. These are great opportunities for us to testify about a bill’s impact and show a united front of support to the legislature – so stay tuned!
