That legislators can file a bill on any topic during the special session is actually one of the few efficiencies of state government. Knowing that any topic can be added at any time, having the off-topic bills filled ahead of the call actually saves time in that the bills are immediately available for consideration.Richard_B wrote:I find it interesting that various legislators are even allowed to file bills that are not on the call. I don't know that the practice is permissible or an authorized expenditure of state funds in doing so. The legislature is supposed to be working on what the Governor transmitted when he called the legislature into session, but then again when did such details bother the lege?

Re: Special Session -- 2013
I'm not sure if this bodes well for our cause or if it's just a false hope, but the only mention of the special session on the radio this morning concerned campus carry & nothing else.
