Special sessions by District 24 Senator Mary Duvall.
As Veto Day drew to a close, the Governor indicated she would be working with legislative leaders to schedule a Special Session to deal with three issues: fairness in women’s sports, medical marijuana, and the latest round of COVID relief money. The Legislature has already set aside November 8-9 as a time to meet in Special Session to vote on legislative redistricting.
The State Constitution allows the governor to convene a special session by issuing a proclamation. Only business encompassed in the proclamation can be addressed during the special session. Interestingly, the constitution allows the special session to include either the entire Legislature or either house alone.
