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 continuing a state of emergency for up to 30 additional days at a time and terminating any specific emergency order by a 2/3 vote in each House of the Legislature, will depend on the number of times the Legislature is required to convene in special session during the interim.
