Interim joint committee meetings begin this month in Frankfort

The first week of committee meetings of the 2023 interim period begin Monday, June 5th for Kentucky lawmakers.

An interim joint committee is composed of all members of a Senate standing committee and all members of a House standing committee. Interim joint committees meet between sessions as a subcommittee of the Legislative Research Commission. Statutory and special committees may also meet during the interim period.
