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 oddnumbered 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.
