Good question.... I don't know what you'd do at the beginning. I suspect they'll be there at the start as that is when committee work will be done, drawing lines, etc...... it's when it gets down to floor activity that they may try something, imo.

Just because they have a special session doesn't mean anything will be accomplished. Texas has had as many as six back to back in the past that I'm aware of. Some could have been on different topics, I don't know.

Word is that they may change the quorum rules for a special session. Regular sessions operate under the regular House rules but special sessions do not and they can adopt their own. So they may cut the quorum rule from 100 to 85.
