A quick definition of biennial session:

A biennial session is a meeting that happens every two years. It's usually used to describe a meeting of lawmakers who come together to make important decisions. Some states have biennial sessions, which means they only meet every other year. Other types of sessions include closed sessions, where only certain people are allowed to attend, and open sessions, where anyone can come. There are also special sessions, which happen outside of the regular schedule to deal with specific issues.

A more thorough explanation:

A biennial session is a meeting or series of related meetings held every two years by a court, legislature, or other deliberative assembly to conduct business in a continuing sequence. Most state legislatures have biennial sessions, usually held in odd-numbered years.

Example: The Texas Legislature meets in regular biennial sessions for 140 days every odd-numbered year to pass laws and set the state's budget.

This example illustrates that the Texas Legislature meets every two years for a specific period to conduct its business.
