Legislative Cost/Study
The Legislature’s baseline budget for 2022-2023 includes funds for the Legislature to meet in special session on 2 days each fiscal year following the applicable statutory deadline.  Whether or not there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of holding a special session for the purpose of extending or terminating a state of emergency will depend on the number of times the Legislature is required to convene in special session during the interim.
