Beyond that, a special session of the Legislature can be convened only when called by the governor, with debate limited to an agenda the governor controls.But a proposed amendment to the state’s constitution would change that, giving the Legislature the power to convene itself. If approved by voters in November, the amendment would allow a two-thirds majority of the Utah House and Senate to call
