The Citizen Legislature Act

June 25, 2009

 


This measure amends the Constitution to limit when the Legislature could hold sessions. Specifically, the Legislature would be limited each year to holding regular sessions in (1) a 30-day period beginning on the first Monday in January and (2) a 60-day period beginning on the first Monday in May. In addition, the Legislature would be allowed to reconvene for up to five additional days to reconsider bills that were vetoed by the Governor. Accordingly, regular sessions of the Legislature would be limited to no more than 95 days per year.
