Legislative NewsOrganization Day for the upcoming session will be November 21, 2023.Organization Day is the ceremonial start of the legislative session for the Indiana General Assembly, which is the state’s bicameral legislature composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Organization Day is usually held in November, prior to the official start of the session in January. It is an administrative day that allows legislators to meet with their colleagues and staff, arrange committees, swear in new members, and discuss issues for the upcoming session. No legislation is voted on or debated on Organization Day. The 2023/2024 legislative session will be a short session, as it is an even-numbered year. Therefore, the Organization Day scheduled for November 21, 2023 will not involve any budget-related matters, but rather serve as a preparation for the session that will begin on January 2, 2024. The Organization Day will be streamed live on the Indiana General Assembly’s website, where the public can also access information about the legislators, committees, bills, and schedules. Organization Day is an important day for the Indiana General Assembly, as it sets the tone and agenda for the upcoming session.
