The 2026 General Assembly session, adjourned sine die on March 14. Although there was substantive and meaningful information passed, the session ended without the biannual budget being finalized. House and Senate conferees were unable to reach a compromise regarding sales exempt tax credits for data centers. The Senate's proposed budget focused heavily on affordability measures aligned with priorities Democrats campaigned on in the fall, including strong investments in K-12 and higher education, efforts to offset federal cuts impacting programs such as the Affordable Care Act, and support to help residents access healthcare and meet rising Medicaid costs.
Following adjournment, a procedural resolution was passed to have the governor call a special session to begin on April 23 to specifically address the state budget. The reconvene session is scheduled for April 22nd to address the Governor's amendments to legislation or any vetos.
