Day 1: 2026 Legislature Convenes and Sets Session Calendar

The Georgia House and Senate convened for the first day of the 2026 session and quickly adopted an adjournment resolution, which sets the calendar for the remainder of the session.

Though the floor session was relatively brief and there were no scheduled committee meetings, legislative business will begin to intensify later in the week. Proposed state budgets, including the education budget, are expected to be released in conjunction with the governor's State of the State address Thursday.
