Each state has its own legislative schedule, holding sessions on predefined intervals. The majority, 46 states in total, meet annually. The states of Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Texas have biennial sessions, meeting on odd years only.
State-level advocacy actions are available for those states in session.
If your state’s legislature is on recess, you can still help advocate for animals by taking federal actions or meeting with your representatives.
