Extra Session of Assembly Hinted in Maryland Politics

Constitution limits on governor in special sessions
Under the State Constitution the Governor can call a special session to address a specific matter but cannot force it to focus only on that issue. The Executive cannot compel legislators to stay beyond the thirty days. Unless a majority of legislators and party leaders agree to confine work, anything can happen, making special sessions unpopular.
