HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of May 5-9, the House met for a total of ten minutes while the Senate met for a total of nine hours and 53 minutes. Mon. May 5 House11:01 a.m. to11:05 a.m. Senate 11:05 a.m. to 3:18 p.m. Tues.May 6 No House session. No Senate session. Wed. May 7 No House session. No Senate session. Thurs.
