Organization Session

The Legislature meets to elect officers and adopt its rules two weeks after a general election. This is called the Organization Session. The Constitution of the State of Florida states: β€œOn the 14th day following each general election the legislature shall convene for the exclusive purpose of organization and selection of officers.” The Senate President and House Speaker often appoint committee chairs and members at this time, thereby allowing work to begin in preparation for the regular session.
