They are going to have to return before 30 days are up because that is when the Gov can declare their seats vacant & hold new elections. I'm curious about that. I know it's 30 days but is is it 30 days of missed Senate sessions or 30 days from the time they left the state? Also, are you sure that it's the governor and not the Senate who declares their seats vacant?

I would guess the Senate Majority leader declares the seats vacant, and then requests the governor to issue writs for special elections. the governor needs to issue the writs.
