I am very pleased that the information technology has advanced so that we can communicate in this additional way. I hope this will provide you with useful information about the State Legislature and how you and I can keep in touch. The Seventy-ninth Legislature is officially sworn in on January 14, 2009. (As the most senior House member I have the honor of presiding over the House as we convene and are sworn in.) With 2008 being a gubernatorial election year the regular 60-day legislative session for 2009 will be delayed for a month, until February 11 and will end on Saturday, April 11, 2009. The year 2010 regular session begins on January 13, 2010 and concludes on Saturday, March 8, 2010.
