Idaho Constitution Amendment
SJR102
Statement on the Legislative Council’s purpose, purpose and results to be achieved
Currently, the Legislature can meet in special session only at the Governor’s request. Under the amendment, Congress could call a special session if 60% of her members in each House petitioned the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. The petition must identify the subjects to be addressed at the special session, and only those subjects may be considered during the special session.
The amendment also requires Congress to hold an organizing meeting in December following the general election. The purpose of an organizational session is to prepare for the next scheduled session. The proposed amendment would formalize in the Idaho Constitution the long-standing convention of Congress regarding convening and organizing legislatures.
