Open States seems to have invented even-year "General Sessions" (eg, 2016 General Session), which don't exist in practice. That is, the _scraped_name of 2016 General Session does not exist anywhere on the state's website, but this session does exist in __init__.py:
{
"_scraped_name": "2016 General Session",
"classification": "primary",
"identifier": "2016",
"name": "2016 General Session"
}
and this session is in ignored_scraped_sessions:
"2016 Budget Session"
even through the 2016 "General Session" is really a "Budget Session."
No huge priority to fix since it doesn't break anything for Open States, just a freakin' pain that we're out of sync with the Wyoming legislature on session semantics.
Wyoming names its even-year sessions "Budget Sessions" (eg,
2016 Budget Session
); see their descriptive text about sessions here: http://legisweb.state.wy.us/LSOWeb/SessionArchives.aspx. Budget Sessions areprimary
sessions that are on similar footing to General Sessions, but just named differently (and are shorter, etc). There is a note inbilly_metadata
that contradicts this (stating that Budget Sessions are just for HB 1, the appropriations bill), but it appears to be inaccurate; 2016 Budget Session's bills are discrete from 2017 General Session's bills, which are discrete from 2018 Budget Session's bills.Open States seems to have invented even-year "General Sessions" (eg,
