RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE TO REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR SPECIAL SESSION LEGISLATION.

This bill (SJ 8) proposes amending the state constitution to require public hearings for any bill or resolution introduced during a special session of the General Assembly. It directly affects the legislature by mandating that all special session legislation undergo a public hearing before proceeding. The key provision would change the constitutional process, requiring these hearings for all special session bills rather than allowing them to move forward without public input. This is a procedural change affecting how the legislature handles special session legislation, not a substantive policy.
