It was mentioned above, and I have no idea if it's true, nor the time to determine if it's true, BUT...Okay. Waiting to see how that will work with regular session right around the corner starting March 7 then for 60 days.
A special session does away with certain regular order rules, like debate, which allows laws to be more easily railroaded... oops, I mean, which allows laws to be responded to more quickly in emergency situations.
So, it's not the timing of the session, but what the kind of session allows to happen.
In this clearly very emergency situation.
I think.
