What's included in a "Current Session" in Plural?

You will find reference to a "Current Session" in the bill search feature of the homepage or on a Bill Detail page.

Plural uses three factors to figure out what counts as the "Current Session:"

1. Regular sessions

2. Special sessions

3. Prefiles

When a jurisdiction has an active regular session, then the "Current Session" is simply that session

• e.g. "2022 Regular Session"

If a jurisdiction has a special session and a regular session that are active at the same time, then the "Current Session" is both sessions

• e.g. "2022 Regular Session" and "2022 Special Session A"

If a jurisdiction has no active sessions (regular or special) and the jurisdiction does not have any prefiles, then the "Current Session" includes all sessions that were active during that year.

Once a jurisdiction has prefiles available, the "Current Session" rules are as follows:

• When there are only prefiles available (no active regular session or special sessions), then the "Current Session" is the session for prefiles.
• When there are active sessions, then the "Current Session" includes both the session for prefiles and the active sessions.
