Annual Meeting

Overview

Commissioners are duty-bound to attend the annual meeting. The focus of the meeting is the review and improvement of legislation drafted during the preceding year. Newly drafted legislation is read line-by-line and debated on the floor during the general session that meets daily, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. It is common that spouses and families of the working Commissioners, advisors, and observers to active drafting committees also attend.
