Connecticut General Statutes Title 2. General Assembly and Legislative Agencies § 2-6. Convening of sessions by action of members

After the adjournment sine die of a regular or a special session of the General Assembly, if the members judge it necessary to meet again, as provided in article third of the amendments to the Constitution of Connecticut, they may so notify the Secretary of the State in writing. No such notice shall be valid as to any member for more than thirty days after its execution by such member. Said secretary, upon receiving valid notices from a majority of the members of each house, shall forthwith notify all members of said assembly to meet in their respective chambers in the Capitol at ten o'clock in the forenoon on a date not less than ten nor more than fifteen days thereafter. Said secretary shall give notice in the manner customarily followed by the Governor in calling special sessions. When so assembled, if a majority of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, judge, by vote taken by yeas and nays and recorded in the journals, that the convening of the General Assembly is necessary, specifying in such vote the facts constituting such necessity, the two houses shall then complete their organization and proceed to the consideration of matters proper for legislative action. Nothing herein shall limit the power of the General Assembly to convene in any other constitutional manner when it judges necessary.
