Robert Healey. Kate Fletcher. Leon Kayarian. The General Assembly is considered a "part time" body, and members receive a relatively modest salary in return for a relatively short session. The legislature generally meets in two sessions, one in January and another in May and June. In general, the first session hears testimony on legislation but passes little. Historically, the General Assembly passes most major legislation in the second session, which is generally hectic with many days running past midnight.
As bills are sometimes poorly vetted or barely read by some members, the resulting laws can have unintended consequences that later prove costly. For this reason, some in the state advocate for creating a more "professional," full time legislature.
