SECTION 9035-9037

9035. As used in this article, "disaster" means a war or
enemy-caused calamity within this State, such as an attack by nuclear
weapons.

9036. If a disaster occurs, the Legislature shall convene itself in
special session immediately after such disaster first occurs, which
session shall convene at the permanent seat of government in the City
of Sacramento or at the temporary seat of government as established
by law if the session cannot be held in the City of Sacramento. At
such special session the Legislature may fill any vacancies in its
membership, pursuant to law, and may consider and act upon any
subject of legislation that is designed to relieve or alleviate the
consequences of such disaster or to restore or continue state and
local government in connection therewith, together with such other
subjects within the scope of legislative regulation or control as are
specified by concurrent resolution adopted by both houses of the
Legislature.

9037. If the Legislature is convened in special session pursuant to
this article on the date specified by the State Constitution for the
convening of a regular session, the Legislature may convene in such
regular session without adjourning the special session or it may
provide by concurrent resolution that the subjects to be considered
at the regular session may be acted upon at the special session, and
in such case the regular session shall not be convened.
