That special purpose they might be called on about is the Voter ID bill. Cant see campus carry or Parking lot bill rising to that level of importance with our politicians, even if they sympathatic to our cause. Only The governor can call a special session.srothstein wrote:All of the currently introduced bills die at the end of this session. If there is a special session, it can only be called for some specific purpose to be discussed. If anyone wants to introduce a bill other than for that purpose, they must get the call to session modified to include their topic.
There is no reason our bills could not be re-introduced during a special session, but it would probably cost us quite a bit of political capital. I don't see them as being justification enough for a session, but depending on how things go, I could see where we might get one called for something else modified to include some of our topics. I just am not sure if it would be worth the political capital or if, tactically, we would be better off waiting until the next regular session.
