A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for sessions.

Summary

The joint resolution proposes changing Section 4 of Article II so the legislature meets each year at noon on the first Tuesday in January and clarifies how special sessions are called. It requires the governor to convene a special session if a general‑appropriation bill isn’t passed by the end of the fiscal year, and allows members to petition the governor for a special session. The amendment follows the standard constitutional amendment process, needing two General Assembly approvals and voter ratification.
