How often does the Legislative Assembly meet, and for how long?
The North Dakota Legislative Assembly meets biennially, from approximately the second week in January to mid-April in each odd-numbered year. Days in regular session are “legislative days,” which generally include Monday-Friday of each week. The Legislative Assembly met for 79 legislative days in 2009, from Tuesday, January 6, through Monday, May 4. Special sessions are rare (the most recent special session was from Monday, May 5, through Wednesday, May 7, 2003). The 2011 regular session will convene Tuesday, January 4, 2011.
