Assume that the Texas legislature is not in session and the economy has gone into recession. What must occur before legislators can act to reformulate policy

A. The legislature as a body must wait for the comptroller to decertify the budget.

B. The legislature must wait for a special session to be called.

C. The legislature must wait for economic conditions to deteriorate to a point where a constitutional provision allowing deficit spending kicks in.

D. The legislature must wait until the federal government increases monies for state governments.

Answer:

The legislature must wait for a special session to be called.

Explanation:

Once the Texas legislature passes a budget and the governor has acted, after 6 months does the budget go into effect.

The Texas legislature passed a law that requires that an agency take a specific action in order to solve a problem. At formulation stage of the policy making process did the passage of this law occur

A special session (also a exceptional session) in a parliamentary term is a time when the assembly meets outside the usual legislative session. Anyone holding a special meeting would be subject to different requirements, such as by a legislative vote in a normal session, the president, or the presiding officer of the legislature.
