You can view weekly legislative committee
agendas for the Assembly and Senate using
these links: Assembly
agendas or Senate
agendas, which will display the list of agendas that are
currently available for the house you selected. Many of the issues
that impact on the practice of law can be found in the Judiciary
or Codes Committees in both houses of the Legislature.
NOTE: Committee agendas are
usual published beginning on the Friday preceding the the date on which
a committee meets. A best practice is to check the list of agendas
in the days leading up to the committee meeting to ensure you have
the most up to date information.
