Tennessee state lawmakers are scheduled to convene the 110th General Assembly January 10th.

The three-day organizational session will kick off with the formal elections for speaker in both chambers, though heavy GOP majorities in both the Senate and House mean little drama is expected for the Republican nominees, Senator Randy McNally and Representative Beth Harwell.

The next day the two chambers are scheduled to meet in joint session to elect the comptroller, treasurer and secretary of state. And on the last day of the organizational session lawmakers will participate in ethics training.

Once those tasks are complete lawmakers plan to recess until the end of the month before returning to hear Governor Bill Haslam's annual state of the state address.
