FRANKFORT (Kentucky Today) – Although the 2026 General Assembly’s 60-day session wrapped up on April 15, lawmakers are returning to Frankfort this week for the start of the 2026 interim period.
Now through December is the time when legislators host committee meetings, research issues facing the state and begin to outline proposals for the next regular legislative session in January 2027.
An interim joint committee is composed of all members of a Senate standing committee and all members of a House standing committee. Interim joint committees meet between sessions as a subcommittee of the Legislative Research Commission. Statutory and special committees may also meet during the interim period.
The full 2026 interim calendar is available here. Please note, the calendar is subject to change.
Unless otherwise indicated on the calendar, most interim joint, statutory and special committee meetings are scheduled to take place in the Capitol Annex building in Frankfort.
Livestreams of the committee meetings will be provided by Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and the Legislative Research Commission. Links to the livestreams are available here.
Each week, the legislative calendar on the Legislative Research Commission website will be updated with information on which committees are meeting for the week. The calendar is available here.
More information on interim joint committees is available here, while information on statutory committees is available here.
To view materials such as information sheets, handouts and PowerPoint presentations that are compiled for lawmakers to review at committee meetings, click on the “Meeting Materials” tab on the right side of each committee’s page. Meeting agendas are also posted on that page.
