Require Governor to provide at least five days notice to all state legislators when calling a Special Session
HJR 6 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring West Virginia's governor to provide at least five days' written notice to all state legislators before convening a special session of the legislature. This would amend Article VI, Section 19 of the state constitution to mandate that the governor's proclamation calling a special session be issued no fewer than five days prior to the session's start. The bill directly affects all state legislators by ensuring they receive a minimum notice period before special sessions begin. The amendment, if approved by voters, would change the current process for notifying lawmakers about special sessions.
