Top lawmakers have also indicated they want to hear from state agency heads about how COVID-19 is affecting state government.
Gov. Chris Sununu has asked commissioners to plan for budget cuts. It is an open question whether federal aid can be used to offset state revenue lost due to the coronavirus.
The meeting will take place via video conferencing. It follows a meeting by telephone of the Executive Council. How it goes could shape lawmakers' future efforts to meet remotely.
The New Hampshire State House remains closed to lawmakers and legislative staffers through at least May 4th.
