The 114th Tennessee General Assembly is the gathering of the Tennessee General Assembly, consisting of the Tennessee Senate and Tennessee House of Representatives, meeting between January 2025 and January 2027.

The 114th Assembly has convened for two standard sessions in 2025 and 2026. It also convened for an extraordinary session in May 2026.

History

[edit]

On November 5, 2024, lawmakers were chosen to participate in the 114th Assembly through Tennessee's House and Senate elections. In the elections, no districts in either the House or Senate flipped from the previous cycle, ensuring that both chambers would maintain Republican supermajorities.

The 2025 session of the 114th Tennessee General Assembly began on January 14 and adjourned on April 22.[1] For the 2026 session, they convened on January 13 and adjourned on April 23.[2] The Assembly also convened for one special session between May 5 and 7, during which lawmakers voted in favor of mid-cycle redistricting of Tennessee's congressional districts.[3]
