Senate Special Session

A special session is a period when the Student Senate convenes outside of the normal legislative session. This most frequently occurs in order to complete unfinished business, such as the passage of the Activity and Service Fee Budget for the next fiscal year, and when considering the removal of a Student Government Agent persuant to the impeachment statutes.

Who may call a special session is outlined in Title III. A special session may be called by vote of the Senate during regular session, or by the Speaker of the Senate. Per Article III, Section 5 A(3) of the Student Body Constitution, a special session is also required if the line of succession to the Office of President has been exhausted.
