The 2021 legislative session convened on January 20, 2021 and will adjourn on April 29, 2021. During these three months, elected officials in the state house and state senate will decide which bills are enrolled to the Governor for his final decision. The Governor can choose to sign a bill into law, or he can veto a bill which stops the bill from becoming a law.

Knowledge is power....do you know who your key legislators are? All of our elected officials have a direct impact on issues that affect us every day.
