HB 1049 Indiana House · 2021 Regular Session

Legislative sessions.

Summary
Restates the law regulating legislative sessions and procedures. Establishes a procedure for the general assembly to call itself into session at times not specifically scheduled in statute. (Provides that the statute establishing this procedure expires July 1, 2023.) Provides that a vetoed bill passed at a session of the general assembly must be reconsidered and voted upon as provided in Article 5, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana not later than the sine die adjournment of the next regular session that occurs after the session that first passed the bill. Provides that a special session may meet for not more than 40 calendar days following the day upon which the session is convened. (Under current law, a special session can last for not more than 40 calendar days or 30 "session days", which is a concept no longer used by the general assembly.) Repeals the current statute governing legislative sessions and procedures. Changes cross-references to the repealed statute.
