2025 is an odd-numbered year, meaning the Kentucky General Assembly will be meeting for a short session. While a regular session is limited to 60 days and must end by April 15, the short session is limited to 30 days, and must end by March 30. Kentucky didn't always have short sessions; prior to a constitutional amendment in 2000, the General Assembly met biennially. Please CLICK on the following link: Upcoming Short Session
