Legislative sessions and committee meetings are open to the public. Legislative sessions usually occur on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Public galleries on the second floor of the State House provide public seating. Access to special events, such as an address by the Governor, may require a seating pass. All visitors to the State House should be prepared to show identification and go through a security screening.

Committee meetings can be held on any weekday, but most often occur on Mondays and Thursdays. Committee rooms are located in the State House Annex. (An underground tunnel connects the State House and Annex.) For a listing of scheduled sessions and committee meetings, consult the Legislative Calendar .
