JANUARY TO JUNE 2003

Sheldon Silver, Speaker of the Assembly

The New York State Legislative Session Calendar establishes a schedule for the 2003 Legislative Session and provides dates important to the legislative process. The Session Calendar is intended to afford Members flexibility in conducting legislative business in Albany and planning activities within their home districts. The Session Calendar will foster orderly and timely consideration of legislation and will provide all persons involved with the legislative process the expected Session days and deadlines for bill introductions. Unforeseen events may require modification of the Session Calendar.
