Clarification Regarding Governor's Proclamation Issued October 6, 2004

 

This editor's note is intended to resolve some confusion around the number of the extraordinary session called for on October 20, 2004.

On August 31, 2004, the Governor issued a Proclamation calling the Fifty-Fifth Legislature (Senate only) into an eleventh extraordinary session. That document was published in the September 15, 2004, issue of the Utah State Bulletin (Bulletin). On September 10, 2004, the Governor issued a separate Proclamation calling the Fifty-Fifth Legislature into a Fourth Special Session, which was published in the October 1, 2004, Bulletin. After the call for the special session was issued, it was determined that there was no need for the eleventh extraordinary session, since the Senate would already be in session as part of the special session. A separate proclamation was not issued to rescind the call of the eleventh extraordinary session.

On October 6, 2004, the Governor issued the next proclamation calling another extraordinary session. The proclamation published in the October 15, 2004, issue of the Bulletin, identified the session as the twelfth extraordinary session. However, since there was not an eleventh extraordinary session, the extraordinary session held on October 20, 2004, should have been designated as the eleventh extraordinary session.

This issue of the Bulletin contains a corrected Proclamation dated October 6, 2004, calling the Fifty-Fifth Legislature (Senate only) into an eleventh extraordinary session on October 20, 2004.

The Division of Administrative Rules regrets any confusion this situation may cause. Questions regarding this notice should be directed to Kenneth A.
