Dear friends,

I hope you had a joyous holiday season as we enter 2026. As we turn the page on the calendar, I want to say thank you—for your continued support and for your advocacy on the issues that matter most in Mississippi.

The Mississippi Legislature will gavel in tomorrow for a new 90-day session as lawmakers return to Jackson.

Throughout the session, we’ll keep you informed. To begin, we wanted to share some background on what to expect this year, highlight key dates, and outline how you can stay engaged.

The legislative process follows a structured calendar that determines when bills must be introduced, considered, passed, and, if approved, sent to the Governor for signature.

Here are the key dates to watch:
* January 19 – Deadline for introduction of general bills and constitutional amendments
* February 3 – Deadline for committees to report on bills originating in their own chamber (this is where most bills fail)
* February 12 – Deadline for floor action on general bills and constitutional amendments originating in their own chamber
* February 25 – Deadline for floor action on appropriations and revenue bills originating in their own chamber
* March 3 – Deadline for committees to report on bills originating in the other chamber
* March 11 – Deadline for floor action on general bills and constitutional amendments originating in the other chamber
* March 17 – Deadline for floor action on appropriations and revenue bills originating in the other chamber
* March 28 – Deadline for conference reports on appropriations and revenue bills
* April 3 – Deadline for adoption of conference reports on general bills and constitutional amendments
* April 5 – Sine Die
