Bill Summary
LEGISLATURE -- States findings of the Legislature and proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the state of Idaho to establish provisions regarding convening the Legislature for special or organizational sessions.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Idaho Constitution to change how the state Legislature convenes for special or organizational sessions. Currently, the Governor can convene extraordinary sessions, but this amendment would allow the Legislature to hold organizational sessions in December after general elections and to convene special sessions if at least sixty percent of both the Senate and House of Representatives sign a joint petition, specifying the topics to be discussed. These special sessions would be limited to the specified topics and necessary expenses, and would be initiated by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, not the Governor. The resolution also directs the Legislative Council and Secretary of State to prepare and publish the necessary information for voters to consider this proposed amendment at the next general election.
