Gov. Jim Justice has extended the legislative session to address the state’s budget.
The governor issued a proclamation Thursday extending the Legislature’s regular session by one day to Sunday, March 10. The proclamation states that “no matters other than the Budget Bill shall be considered during this extension of the regular session.”
An extension is required by the state Constitution if a budget bill hasn’t been completed three days before the end of the session. The budget bill is the only legislation that the state constitution requires the Legislature to pass each year.
A potential clawback of federal money due to education spending was announced last week that required changes to appropriations as recently as Tuesday.
Extending session to address the budget was the norm for many years, but recently legislative leadership has prided itself on completing the budget within the 60 day session.
