Lawmakers returning to Olympia in October and December…
No, not for a special session. Just for "assembly days," the legislature's periodic gatherings to hold hearings and figure out what to put on the plate for the next session -- now just six months away.
This year, the meetings will be later than normal:
-Oct. 1-2 (Thursday and Friday)
-and Dec. 3-4 (also Thursday and Friday)
As Senate and House administrators noted in an email today, "the schedule also allows time for development of a legislative response to the September 17th revenue forecast, if necessary."
