North Carolina lawmakers set limited sessions through December

The House and Senate reconvene on scheduled dates, and only specified matters may be considered at each session. The schedule covers the 2025 North Carolina regular session and applies to both legislative chambers. The listed matters include veto reconsiderations, certain appointments and nominations, litigation, election laws, impeachment, constitutional amendment proposals and related changes, house organization, qualifying conference reports, and bills returned for concurrence. A joint resolution changing or ending the session may also be considered. The chambers reconvene August 31, September 28, October 26, November 16, and November 30, 2026, each at noon.

The House speaker or Senate president pro tempore may authorize committees to meet between sessions. The authority applies to committees and conference committees of either chamber. Committees may review the 2025–2027 state budget, prepare reports including revised budgets, or consider other matters the authorizing leader considers appropriate. A conference committee may meet during the interim with approval from either leader. The resolution takes effect upon ratification.

The House and Senate adjourn sine die, ending the 2025 regular session. This applies to the 2025 regular session of the North Carolina General Assembly. The final adjournment is set for Friday, December 18, 2026; the resolution is effective upon ratification.
