Session Laws

The general effective date for bills is 91 days after session is over. It is unpredictable in determining the date for session to end. Although the rules allow for a 100-day session, there are provisions for extending it. For information on general effective dates, click the General Effective Dates link located on the navigation to the left of the ALIS Online homepage.

However, if a bill contains an Emergency clause or Requirements For Enactment (RFE or RFEIR) clause, it becomes effective immediately upon signature of the Governor. General Effective Dates and Delayed Effective Dates can also determine a bill’s effective date.
