Limit Session Length

Introduced·4/2/25

Limits regular legislative sessions to 90 days in odd years and 45 days in even years.

This bill proposes an amendment to the North Carolina Constitution to limit the length of regular legislative sessions. In odd-numbered years, the General Assembly can meet for no more than 90 legislative days. In even-numbered years, the limit is 45 legislative days. This amendment excludes reconvened sessions and extra sessions from these limits. If approved by voters in the 2026 election, the changes would apply to sessions starting after the amendment's effective date.
