The 2023 interim legislative session starts next week and lawmakers will head to the state capital to discuss potential topics for the upcoming legislative session.
An interim joint committee is composed of all members of a Senate standing committee and all members of a House standing committee. Interim joint committees meet between sessions as a subcommittee of the Legislative Research Commission. Statutory and special committees may also meet during the interim period.
Part of the focus of the interim period will be specific policy issues to be studied by several special committees or task forces.
LINK nky recently explored how two of those task forces (certificate of need and local government annexation) will impact Northern Kentucky.
For the full 2023 interim calendar, visit legislature.ky.gov. Please note, the calendar is subject to change.
Unless otherwise indicated on the calendar, most interim joint, statutory and special committee meetings are scheduled in the Capitol Annex building in Frankfort.
Livestreams of the committee meetings will be provided by Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and the Legislative Research Commission. For links to the livestreams, go to legislature.ky.gov.
Each week, the legislative calendar on the Legislative Research Commission website will be updated with information on which committees are meeting for the week. The calendar is available at legislature.ky.gov/LegislativeCalendar.
