Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 46-1403
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories. See Kansas Statutes 77-201
Whenever petitions have been delivered to the governor, or to his official office in the state capitol, in accordance with Kan. Stat. Ann. § 46-1402, and the governor fails to properly make the call required by Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 46-1402 and section 5 of article 1 of the constitution of the state of Kansas, the legislature shall convene at the time specified in such petitions. The first order of business of each house shall be to consider a concurrent resolution declaring the special session to be duly called. If two-thirds of all the members elected to each house shall approve such resolution, the special session shall be deemed to be duly called, notwithstanding the failure of the governor to properly make the required call.
