SB39 - An Act Concurring In A Proposed Amendment To Article Ii Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Limitations On The Time And Frequency Of Legislative Sessions.
David P. Sokola, Bryan Townsend, Elizabeth Lockman
Last updated over 1 year ago
11 Co-Sponsors
This Act is the second leg of a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the regular session of the General Assembly from extending beyond 5:00 p.m. on the last day of June, unless the session is recalled by the Governor or the presiding officers of both Houses. This changes the time beyond which a regular session of the General Assembly may not extend from midnight on June 30 to 5:00 p.m., which changes the time at which the presiding officers of both Houses must act to recall the General Assembly into special session. This means the General Assembly no longer has to remain in session until midnight to recall itself into special session. The first leg of this constitutional amendment was House Bill 411 of the 151st General Assembly published in Chapter 324 of Volume 83 of the Laws of Delaware. On passage of this second leg by this General Assembly this amendment will become part of the Delaware Constitution.
