Legislature adjourns; medical marijuana program launches. Last update: October 15, 2015. The first half of the 2015-2016 legislative session brought about some slight changes to the restrictive medical marijuana program enacted in May 2014.
A Congress lasts for two years, with each year constituting a separate session. The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 requires Congress to adjourn sine die no later than July 31 of each year unless there is a declared war, or unless Congress otherwise provides. In odd-numbered years, the Congress must take an August recess if it fails to adjourn by July 31. Neither the House nor the Senate may adjourn for more than three days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) without the concurrence of the other Chamber.
