Pennsylvania HB1746 proposes a constitutional amendment to change the General Assembly's status from a continuing to a part-time body.

Pennsylvania HB1746 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to redefine the General Assembly as a part-time body. Currently, it is a continuing body, but the amendment would change its meeting schedule. The Assembly would meet at noon on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January each year and conclude its business by the last day of March unless a special session is called. Special sessions could be initiated by a majority petition from members of each House or by the Governor when deemed necessary for the public interest.
