The Governor asked for a motion to call a Special Session of the Legislature.

Pursuant to the authority granted to the Governor with the advice of the Council as set forth in Part 2, Article 50 of the New Hampshire Constitution, I ask for a motion to approve this Proclamation declaring a special session of the Legislature. The Proclamation will authorize the general court to convene in a special session later today to consider legislation that will ensure we retain a balanced budget and remain responsive to the impact of the national economic downturn. The motion was made by Councilor Pignatelli, seconded by Councilor Burton.

The Governor asked for an amended motion to call for a Special Session of the Legislature

“I ask for a motion to approve a corrected proclamation declaring a special session. The first proclamation contained an error in identifying the two fiscal years of the current biennium as the fiscal years “beginning July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2009.”

The new proclamation corrects the typographical error by properly identifying the relevant fiscal years as “beginning July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008.” Otherwise, the proclamation is identical. “ The motion to amend was made by Councilor Pignatelli, seconded by Councilor Burton.
