The Andalusian parliament will set up its 18 standing legislative committees on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, in Seville . According to the official timetable of the Parlamento de Andalucía the series of inaugural meetings will begin at 09:50 and end with the final meeting at 15:20. The committees will primarily elect their chairs and deputy chairs, appoint rapporteurs and set work programmes for upcoming legislative debates and parliamentary scrutiny.
The establishment of the committees marks the transition from the constituent phase to the regular working procedures of the XIII. Legislatura. The committees’ composition reflects the balance of political forces resulting from the regional elections of 17 May 2026; parliament was constituted on 11 June 2026. The parliamentary groups had until 26 August to nominate their committee members. Their remits range from the environment and transport to budgetary and social policy, as well as scrutiny of public companies. These include the committee overseeing the public broadcasting agency RTVA and its companies. A specialist committee on artificial intelligence, digital development and public administration is also planned; it is intended to bring together digitalisation issues during this parliamentary term.
Immediately after the inaugural meetings, the first meeting of the committee officers (Mesas) is scheduled for Wednesday, 2 September 2026. The agendas for regular working meetings in the week of 8 to 10 September will be prepared there. The plenary session of the new parliamentary session is scheduled for 16 and 17 September 2026, according to the plan adopted in July.
The formal start of committee work gives parliament the means to consider pending and announced proposals in a structured way. In Andalusian parliamentary practice, committees are the main forum for hearings, amendments and reports before proposals reach the plenary. The committee leaderships approved today will determine how priorities are set and proceedings organised. According to the parliamentary administration, work programmes are to be approved promptly so that debates on initiatives already submitted can begin in the second half of September.
The information is based on the official meeting calendar and statements from the Parlamento de Andalucía, as well as a report by the Europa Press news agency dated 30 August 2026. The parliamentary leadership reserves the right to make specific changes to the schedule; this report reflects the plans as they stood at the editorial deadline.
