What can we expect? This session is what’s known as a “short session.” In actuality, it is a con tinuation of the 1992 regular session and generally will last somewhere between four to eight weeks. However, it is im possible to predict exactly how long it will take to conduct the business at hand. New issues surface continuously. Certain rules apply to short session ac tivity and dictate the issues that can be addressed. Following are items which may be considered during this session. •Adjustments to the 1992-93 budget which was adopted last year. •Bills that passed one house during the last session and were not acted on unfavorably by the other house. •Noncontroversial local bills that do not require public hearings and that have the unanimous endorsement of the local delegation. •All of these rules, however, can be suspended by a two-thirds majority vote, and the legislature can then consider any item it wishes to bring to the floor. The Appropriations Committee, which includes half of the legislators, began work on May 12. As mandated by the Budget Reform Act from last year, the budget must be adopted by June 30. The primary is now over, and it is evi dent that many new faces will appear in the membership of the General Assem bly in 1993.
