Bill > SJ00008

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would mandate public hearings for any legislation introduced during special sessions of the General Assembly. A special session is an additional legislative meeting called outside of the regular legislative calendar, typically to address urgent or specific issues. Under this proposed constitutional amendment, any bill or resolution brought forward during a special session would be required to have a public hearing, which would provide an opportunity for citizens, stakeholders, and interested parties to offer input and testimony on proposed legislation before it can be considered for passage. The purpose of this resolution is to increase transparency and public participation in the legislative process during these less common legislative gatherings, ensuring that even in extraordinary legislative sessions, there is an opportunity for public engagement and scrutiny of proposed laws.
