Amends existing law to provide that a regular session of the Legislature shall adjourn by a certain date and to provide exceptions.
The purpose of this legislation is to establish some uniformity to the legislative session and process. By identifying a "not to exceed" sine die date, it will help the Legislature to be more deliberative and timelier in doing the peoples business. Exceptions to address a gubernatorial veto and declared disaster and emergency events are provided for. In addition, with the passage of a concurrent resolution by both the Senate and the House the session can also be extended.
